Maintenance Of Synthetic Grasss For Padel Courts
Padel court maintenance with synthetic lawn is essential to maintain the technical characteristics of the installations over time. The planning of correct maintenance actions makes it possible to protect a synthetic grassland both against the interactions caused by the actions of the game.
In outdoor padlocks, for example, it is necessary to pay attention to the effects of air agents and pollution. There are additional factors that can damage a synthetic grass padel ground installed outside, such as tree resins close to the structure.
It is therefore important to program periodic field inspections, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations, as well as preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance interventions.
Padel Court Maintenance
The most common maintenance intervention for the synthetic grass padel ground involves filling it with sand. This process is typically carried out through periodic coating brushing. This brushing is essential as it allows for the correct distribution of the sand on the padel court. Furthermore, the distribution is necessary to accommodate the movements of the players on the surface.
To distribute it correctly, you must use a roadmender broom or a rotary brush with flexible nylon strands. This will restore filling in a way regular to promote a more homogeneous ball bounce and avoid the risks to the players’ ligaments.
It is also important to periodically check the filling amount, because it may be necessary to add sand.
Sand can be an excellent breeding ground for weed seeds brought by wind. It is therefore just as important to regularly eliminate weeds, possibly with corrective treatments for natural herbs.
