What you need to know to choose between different tennis court systems. By Jos McKenzie on November 28, 2016 A tennis court in your home garden encourages your family to get outdoors and burn up some energy together. The social and health benefits are obvious; the fun is guaranteed! There are several tennis court systems you can choose from. We look at the different tennis court surfaces you might consider, in terms of performance, durability, maintenance and aesthetics. Synthetic grass tennis courts Durability: • TigerTurf tennis surfaces are manufactured from top quality yarns and processes. • Your tennis court will perform to a high standard for many years of regular play. • The turfs we install for home tennis courts have been well tested in schools and tennis clubs. • Well-built sub-base constructions that drain freely are fundamental to durability and performance in the long term. • These courts are ready for play in all climatic conditions.

Natural grass tennis courts Acrylic hard surface tennis courts Clay tennis courts Synthetic clay tennis courts. Installing TigerTurf onto Rooftops and Balconies. By Jos McKenzie on November 27, 2016 Rooftop gardens and soft green lawns on the balcony give apartment dwellers delightful garden settings in which to enjoy fresh air and chat with friends. TigerTurf has installed many of these upper level landscape features over the years, safely overcoming some challenging access and technical points.

Builders, architects and landscape designers are responsible for constructing strong, safe, watertight rooftops to support the weight of the base, turf and infill. • They must plan to ensure the base is built to carry the weight of the synthetic grass turf. • They must also make sure adequate drainage is achieved. TigerTurf’s Technical Director, Don Crockett, shares some useful tips on the key factors that need to be considered. Planning 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Access Access can be a problem, as the TigerTurf landscape lawn comes in 3.66 metre rolls, along with the sand infill if this is required.

We can generally overcome most access concerns. Installation. Use colour to define, design, combine and streamline your play and sports areas. By Jos McKenzie on November 22, 2016 Using different colours in TigerTurf sports and playground synthetic turfs bring drama and energy to schools, early learning centres and community sports centres. Whatever the required use of the grounds, the range of colours available mean you can create the facility that is best for your community. Kindy, Early Childhood Centres and Primary Schools Colour is an essential building block of early childhood education; colours are the first stage in advancing children’s ability to understand abstract concepts.

Bright, engaging playgrounds advance learning and health at this important stage of development. Colour and shapes aid cognitive development in young children Children see colour and shapes all around them from birth and are drawn to bright colours instinctively. Learning about colour is a precursor to learning about the rest of their world, including more abstract concepts such as numbers and letters. Colour can define areas: Developing top cricket players dependent on playing on synthetic turf wickets. By Jos McKenzie on October 30, 2016 To a true cricket aficionado there is no greater enjoyment than playing on a true and perfect turf wicket. This may be fine at a test match level but, unfortunately, it is difficult to get good pitches, and to find the groundsmen with the experience and skills to maintain them.

It is argued that traditional turf pitches provide the inconsistencies and variables that make the game of cricket appealing and interesting. But poor turf wickets impede a batsmen’s ability to consistently get behind the ball, and when bowling, often the condition of the wicket delivers the results rather than the skills of the bowlers. These characteristics are not helpful for grassroots and lower levels of the game where developing skills and talent is critical. The solution is artificial cricket wickets. The technology of synthetic pitches has advanced considerably over the past few decades. How do Synthetic Cricket Wickets and Batting Cages assist with Skills Development? Gladstone Apartments. “Well done, TigerTurf – the landscape lawn sets off the Gladstone Apartments beautifully, softening hard surfaces and forming a dynamic pattern that gives character to the entire area.”

Our client is happy and so are we. The Gladstone Apartments Story TigerTurf Summer Envy XWR adds grace and colour within the simple, strong design of the entrance to the Gladstone apartments in Parnell. The landscape lawn complements the sweeping river stone curves beautifully, the two creating a textured, rhythmic pattern in line and colour, injecting movement and tension to relieve the static bulk of the building. The curves in the turf echo the scalloped curves of the balconies as you approach the apartments, and the fresh, clear green of TigerTurf Summer Envy forms a simple, but effective, contrast to the grey river stones and lighter concrete. The sweeping design focuses on the splendid fountain in the forecourt of the apartments. What product was used? What is below the grass? New Zealand.

How to get the Perfect Lawn and still have Time to Enjoy it. By Jos McKenzie on August 30, 2016 How to get the Perfect Lawn and still have Time to Enjoy it We understand that it’s hard to beat a quality natural lawn, but often the difficulties experienced to maintain a lush, healthy turf are challenging to say the least. To achieve a lush and green lawn all year round takes a lot of work and you need to be continually caring for it; mowing, weeding, watering and fertilising. There are many reasons why a lush lawn is challenging.

It’s too wet, too dry, too shaded, too patchy, too weedy, the dogs tear it up and the prickles take over. For anyone who would prefer to spend less of their precious free time cultivating the perfect lawn, and more time enjoying one, artificial grass is ideal. But there are many options to choose from and synthetic turf can be a daunting prospect for first-time buyers. 1. Your synthetic lawn is laid over a compacted metal base to ensure the foundations have the correct contours, levelling and drainage required. 2. 3. 4. 5. Keep it fun and entertaining by adding some POP to your tennis. By Jos McKenzie on August 30, 2016 Keep it fun and entertaining by adding some POP to your tennis Pop tennis, a relatively new sport in New Zealand, is already being played on TigerTurf courts. It’s a popular social and family game that can be played at a level to suit the age and ability of players. Racquet, net height and ball speed have been adjusted to fit the smaller court size.

The court, as well as being smaller than the regular tennis court, is marked up differently to accommodate the simplified playing format; the racquets have shorter handles, the ball is slower and the net lower than in conventional tennis. While pop tennis does relate to tennis, the style of play also reflects the fast pace and simplified rules of volleyball. School children enjoy pop tennis Pop tennis is a useful game for schools to include in sports planning, particularly if space is restricted. Players have fewer skills to master, the serve being underhand and the courts smaller. Lay off the synthetic grass kids, warns Tennis New Zealand performance coach.
