MUGA Pitch Construction- A Synthetic Turf Management Install

30th January 2017

What is a MUGA Pitch? Who can complete a MUGA pitch construction? MUGA pitch costs and MUGA pitch construction details? The world of multi use games areas and sports can be daunting with often too many options to choose from, but at STM we aim to make things a little easier for you.

What is a MUGA Pitch?

MUGA pitch constructions are regularly completed widely over the UK, but what makes these games areas the number one product on the market for multi sports? Well just that! They can take in several different sports and their rules onto one surface, thus utilising space and increasing the facilities that the leisure centre/sports club/school has available to offer. Vibrant blues, greens, yellows and reds are often used in our installs  to create an attractive looking surface that everyone wants to use, but even if you use the best turf around, if the product is not installed correctly this can cause huge problems in the future.

MUGA Construction Details

The most important part of any MUGA pitch construction is the base works. At STM we start as we mean to go on and that means that we will never lay an artificial grass carpet if the base works are going to reduce the lifespan of the product. We can install the base works on top of different surfaces from natural grass to concrete playgrounds but we always ensure that each have the following:

  • Adequate drainage- to prevent flooding on your surface.
  • Smooth and level base- to keep safety as a number one priority.
  • Free from foliage- so weeds won’t penetrate your artificial surface.
  • A cushioning base if necessary- for certain sports, and particularly if your surface is used by children, we will install a shock pad as part of the surface to cushion falls and absorb impact.

Often, existing base works will be used as this is the most cost effective option, if we can salvage your surface and build on top, we will! Often this may involve patching up the existing base and levelling off sections.

MUGA Pitch Costs

If we have already cleared up your questions that is great, but are you thinking about MUGA pitch costs? Unfortunately, due to the nature of the work and the fact that every base is different, it is very difficult to give a quote without examining the area first. There are many factors that need to be considered including access, foliage, existing base, what MUGA pitch construction design is right for you, size etc.… The best option is to contact STM on 01642 713 555 or emailing info@stmworld.co.uk to benefit from a free on-site consultation and no obligation quote.
