The most popular sports in Bulgaria are:
- tennis
- mini football
- football
Therefore in this article we are discussing the types of artificial sports grass suitable for these sports.
Of course there are artificial sports grasses designed for golf or rugby, but these sports are not so popular in Bulgaria.
Usually when building a tennis court, most people are trying to combine it with a mini football field. So two sports can be played at the same court. The recommended total height of the artificial grass is 22 mm (20 mm fibre height). The grass is sprinkled with washed quartz sand. Asphalt and concrete are the most suitable bases for the playground. The two major types of artificial sports grasses are polypropylene or polyethylene. The main difference is that the polyethylene grass can be used during the winter, because the low temperatures are not making it fragile. The polypropylene grass freezes so it is easier to crush or break it when playing. The polyethylene grass is also softer. The marking of the field is made with grass of different colour (yellow or white), so the initial lines will be preserved, regardless of the weather or the total playtime on the field. There are special types of artificial grasses in black, which makes them extremely suitable for tennis courts.
The situation with the football grasses is almost the same - marking, base, grass material. The sprinkle consists of washed quartz sand and rubber granules. The grass height can be 50, 55 or 60 mm.
