Why Specify 50 mm Monofilament for Multi-Sport

One Surface, Maximum Utilization

Multi-sport fields must deliver acceptable performance across several disciplines — not perfection for one. The turf balances ball behavior, player safety and wear resistance for every sport the field hosts, from football to lacrosse to community fitness events.

Balanced Performance Across Sports

A 50 mm pile with sand and rubber infill provides a middle ground: enough cushion for rugby tackling, adequate ball roll for football, and sufficient firmness for field hockey stick-ball contact. The infill mix is tuned to the primary sport mix the field will host.

Built for High-Volume, Year-Round Use

School and municipal fields host training sessions, matches and community events almost every day. Dense PE monofilament at 10,500 tufts/m² with reinforced three-layer backing is engineered to withstand that workload and UV exposure without fiber breakdown.

Permanent Multi-Sport Line Markings

Multi-sport fields carry line sets for several codes. White and colored lines are tufted directly into the carpet during production, avoiding painted markings that wear off and need repainting each season — the lines last the life of the carpet.

Product Range

One surface for a full school or community programme

Where space and budget must stretch across football, hockey, tennis, basketball and PE, one well-specified surface beats four compromised ones.

Built to order — specified to your sport

  • Shock absorption well above hard court, with no mud, dust or bare patches.
  • Pile height and infill chosen for the widest sport mix on your timetable, then line-marked for multiple layouts.
  • Year-round playability: draining sub-base, UV-stabilised yarn and a backing that takes daily high-frequency use.

Every Relyir surface is extruded, tufted and coated in our own plant, so the specification above is a starting point, not a catalogue limit. Send us your sport, level of play and sub-base and we will engineer the pile height, gauge, yarn, backing and infill around it.

Performance Design

Tuning the System for Multiple Disciplines

A multi-sport field that serves football on Saturday, rugby on Sunday and school athletics during the week needs turf that recovers between sessions. The five Relyir blade profiles — diamond, stem, double-stem and two wave variants — each respond differently to the multi-directional forces that different sports create.

Diamond-profile fibers resist flattening under repeated foot traffic, keeping the field looking and playing consistently in high-wear zones. Stem and wave profiles offer a softer underfoot feel that some operators prefer for community-use surfaces where comfort matters alongside performance.

All five models sit on the same 3/4″ gauge and 10,500 tufts/m² density platform, which means the switch from one profile to another is a matter of sport-mix preference and visual identity, not a structural rebuild.

Multi-sport fields often reference the standards of the primary sport they host. Fields prioritizing football can target the international football-surface testing programme; those hosting rugby address the rugby governing-body head-injury criteria (HIC). A shock pad is strongly recommended to meet impact absorption requirements across different sports.

The infill type and loading are selected based on which sports dominate the field’s usage calendar. SBR is the economical choice; TPE and organic infills address performance or regulatory requirements.

Beyond the fiber, the three-layer backing — polypropylene, reinforcing mesh cloth, and a second polypropylene layer — is what anchors every tuft and transfers load across the carpet. An optional PU coating adds moisture resistance for tropical climates.

Eight Production Steps Under One Roof

Relyir has manufactured artificial grass in Jiangsu since 2006. Every step — from raw PE pellets to finished rolls — runs on-site, which is how we control quality and hold pricing 30–50% below international equivalents.

All eight production stages are managed in-house, eliminating the quality gaps that arise when compounding, tufting and coating happen in separate facilities. The automated sports turf line, commissioned in 2015, lifted production capacity by 150% and tightened consistency across high-volume orders.

Customization is built into the line: blade density, pile height and fiber colors are adjusted to each project’s specification, with PP + net and PU backing options. The export team has shipped to more than 500 customers across 50+ countries since 2009 and handles all documentation — from commercial invoices to certificates of origin.

Every order is produced to specification — pile height, density, blade shape and color, backing composition and roll dimensions are all configured to your project requirements.

  • 20 years of manufacturing since founding in 2006.
  • 12,000 m² facility — warehouse and workshop under one quality system.
  • Automated sports line commissioned 2015, capacity +150%.
  • Full export support — documentation, sampling and logistics coordination.

System Build-Up

Four Layers Tuned for Shared Use

The multi-sport system mirrors the football 3G build but is tuned for broader use. Infill ratios and shock pad selection are adjusted to the sport mix the field will host.

1

Aggregate or Asphalt Base

A permeable compacted base with drainage channels supports the system and moves water away from the surface efficiently.

2

Shock Pad

An elastic shock pad is commonly specified for multi-sport fields to meet safety thresholds across different sports — particularly where rugby or athletics share the pitch.

3

Sand Stabilizer

Silica sand, roughly 20–30 kg/m², anchors the fibers and keeps the system stable under multi-directional traffic from different sports.

4

Performance Infill

SBR, TPE or organic infill adds cushion and ball response. The infill type and loading are selected based on which sports dominate the field’s usage calendar.

Drainage and Longevity

Every Relyir multi-sport turf ships with perforated backing — drainage holes punched during our dedicated perforating step — so water moves through the carpet into the stone base rather than pooling on the surface.

Pair the system with routine brushing and periodic infill top-up, and the field maintains match-ready conditions through its full service life. UV-stabilized PE fibers resist degradation under prolonged sun exposure across all climate zones.

  • Perforated backing for vertical drainage
  • UV-stabilized PE fibers rated for continuous outdoor exposure
  • Tufted multi-sport line markings that last the life of the carpet

One Surface, Many Rulebooks

A multi-sport field is a programming decision before it is a product decision: which sports share the surface, in which seasons, at what level. The turf compromise is usually a mid-range pile with resilient fibers that tolerate football boots, futsal soles and racket-sport footwork alike, with line markings for several sports painted or inlaid. Schools and municipalities are the classic buyers because one conversion replaces several high-maintenance surfaces.

Questions

Multi-Sport Turf FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often from schools, municipalities and sports facility operators.

Can’t find your answer?

Our technical team responds within 12 hours.

Ask Us Directly
Which sports can share one turf field?

Soccer, football, lacrosse and field hockey share full-size fields routinely; smaller courts take futsal, volleyball, badminton and tennis training. The surface is specified around the most demanding sport in the mix, then the others adapt.

How are the line markings handled?

Permanently inlaid lines for priority sports plus painted lines for occasional ones is the common approach, or fully painted for maximum flexibility. Tell us the sport mix and we will recommend the marking plan.

Which sports can share a single multi-sport turf field?

A 50 mm pile system can accommodate football, rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, American football and athletics training on the same surface. The key is tuning the infill mix and shock pad to the primary sports. We review your usage plan before recommending a configuration.

Can multi-sport turf meet both football and rugby governing-body standards?

Both the football and rugby governing-body programmes certify the installed system through field testing. A well-designed 50 mm pile with appropriate shock pad can be configured to support both testing programs, though each requires separate field-test certification by accredited institutes.

How are line markings handled for multiple sports?

We tuft permanent line markings directly into the carpet during production — white, yellow or colored fibers for different sports. Tufted lines last the life of the carpet and do not require repainting, unlike surface-painted alternatives.

How does multi-sport turf handle wear from different sports?

Different sports create different wear patterns — football studs, hockey sticks, rugby scrums. Our 50 mm PE monofilament is designed for uprightness recovery after compression, and the 10,500 tufts/m² density provides enough fiber to distribute wear across the surface.

What infill is best for a multi-sport field?

SBR crumb rubber with silica sand is the standard 3G configuration. For projects in regions with microplastic regulations, TPE or organic infills (cork, coconut) are alternatives. The infill choice affects cushion, ball bounce and surface temperature — we help you evaluate the trade-offs.

Is a shock pad necessary for multi-sport fields?

A shock pad is strongly recommended for multi-sport fields. It helps the system meet impact absorption requirements for rugby (head-injury criteria, HIC) and adds player comfort for all sports sharing the field.

Do you provide free samples before we order?

Yes. Samples are free of charge — you only cover the shipping. Standard swatches are 20 × 20 cm and we typically send three to four models per project so you can compare pile heights and colors side by side. Standard samples ship via DHL or FedEx within 4–6 days; custom-matched samples add 10–15 days of production.

Do you handle shipping and export paperwork?

Yes. Choose between two options: delivered to your destination port, with export customs clearance in China, international ocean freight and cargo insurance included in one all-inclusive cost; or delivered to a Chinese port if you prefer to work with your own freight forwarder. Other delivery arrangements can be accommodated on request.

What is the minimum order size?

Orders range from single rolls for smaller installations to full container loads for large developments. Roll sizes of 2 m, 4 m and 5 m widths (25 m length) cover most layouts, and custom dimensions are produced to order. Volume pricing applies as order size increases.
