A GrassMaster pitch is composed of 100% natural grass reinforced with unique synthetic fibres, meticulously installed on the subbase.
- high performance polypropylene monofilament fibres (HPF), produced in-house by a patented method
- fibres are injected 18 cm deep, in a grid of approximately 2 cm x 2 cm to provide vertical reinforcement throughout the pitch
- fibres protrude 1,5-2 cm above the root zone surface
- 20 million HPF fibres reinforce every single GrassMaster pitch
GrassMaster HPF fibres perform three primary functions on the pitch:
- give stability to a predominately sand-based structure by reinforcing the profile
- provide an anchor around which the grass roots can entwine
- maintain the stability, uniformity and even level of the playing surface

Following some stability issues in one of our natural pitches I chose to inject a vertical fibre system, with this in mind we quickly negotiated a deal with Tarkett to install a GrassMaster system, given their growing presence in La Liga it was the obvious choice, works were executed quickly and the end result is a very stable quality surface.

GrassMaster offers a softer feel than a traditional artificial surface, as well as a lower incidence of injuries related to burns and impact, whilst maintaining the longevity.
