Artificial Sports Surfaces

The Radford™ Ezy Net™ Limited (Ezy Net™) system of synthetic sports surfaces provide the opportunity for schools, local authorities, sports clubs and other organisations to benefit from a safe, slip resistant yet responsive playing surface that can be used virtually all the year round and almost immediately after heavy rainfall.

A complete range of sand-filled, sand - and rubber-filled, semi-sand-filled water-based carpets is available, suitable for hockey, football, tennis, bowls, cricket and multipart. Various polypropylene and nylon yarns with different properties and play characteristics are used to manufacture the carpets. The surfaces are laid onto foundations consisting of geotextiles, sub-base and engineered base layers and shockpads, giving pitches strength, stability, porosity, longevity and resilience.

Synthetic pitches incur lower maintenance costs than conventional turf. Our shock pads minimise the risk of injury and impart much less stress on the players, coaches and officials. Ezy Net™ tailor made synthetic play or practice areas are designed either to maximise the number of activities that can be played upon them or to be used quite specifically for only one sport.

For affordable, bespoke, multi-sport playing surfaces the solution is the Ezy Net™ Dynamic Playing Surface. The materials we use are highly resistant to weathering and the effects of UV radiation. Each play area is individually designed and constructed according to the site conditions established during a survey and to the client’s budgetary and safety requirements.

DYNAMIC PLAYING SURFACES ENSURES

• Safe impact characteristics with optimum ball response

• Reduced physical stress on players and officials

• Excellent grip and playing characteristics

• Surface stability in all weather conditions

• Construction to recognised governing body standards

• Long life with minimum maintenance costs

SYNTHETIC MULTI-PLAY SURFACES
Typical Specifications

A truly improved playing area. Radford™ Ezy Net™ Limited surfaces ensure sustainable shock absorption characteristics.

They will maintain even levels and resist movement in the playing surface. They provide the ideal playing characteristics under a very wide range of temperature and humidity conditions.

Impact response and stability tests have been carried out that confirm relevant standards are achieved.

The method of construction can be either an engineered tarmac or a dynamic sub base of clean graded stone, this is additionally supported by strong geotextile separators thus preventing the infiltration of fines into the sub-base which can lead to the distortion of the level profile.

A suitable sports carpet is laid on top of our shock pad and drainage layer (a 3-dimensional core bonded between two non-woven geotextives). Site conditions will always determine the appropriate materials to be used in each project.

A full range of technical specifications and test results are available for all our products. We offer the complete service from planning through to commissioning using our own approved contractors.

We will also provide site visits and installation advice at all stages of construction.
