Sports Turf Systems
50 mm outfield turf paired with 12 mm infield systems for baseball diamonds. Factory-direct from Relyir — 20 years of sports turf manufacturing.
Why Specify a Two-Zone System
Baseball demands different surface behavior in the outfield and infield. Ground balls must track predictably on the grass, while infielders need a fast, low-bounce surface for quick transfers. Relyir addresses both zones with purpose-built products from a single factory.
The 50 mm outfield pile, stabilized with sand and rubber infill, keeps the ball rolling true at game speed — no hops, no deviations caused by uneven fiber height. Consistent tuft density across the full outfield is what separates a professional-grade surface from a practice field.
The 12 mm short-pile infield turf with dense 52,500 tufts/m² delivers the fast, low-bounce behavior fielders need for double plays and bunt coverage. Sand infill keeps the fibers supported and the ball response uniform across every hop.
Base paths and base areas experience concentrated abrasion from sliding runners. Dense PE monofilament with reinforced three-layer backing resists the fiber pull and infill displacement that head-first and feet-first slides generate.
Product Range
Five 50 mm monofilament models for the outfield, one 12 mm short-pile model for the infield. All products share the same Relyir quality system and are supplied from a single production line for color and lot consistency.

Roll sizes: 4 × 25 m or 2 × 25 m, maximum roll width 5 m. Infield dirt-zone cutouts and warning-track color changes can be specified per project. Full datasheets — including yarn weight and total weight — are provided with your quotation.
Performance Design
Baseball is unique among field sports in requiring two fundamentally different playing surfaces within one field. The outfield needs a lush, natural-grass appearance with enough pile depth to cushion the ball and produce a true roll at speed. The infield demands a short, dense surface that mimics hard-packed clay — fast, low-bounce, and predictable on every hop.
The transition between zones is critical. Seams where outfield meets infield must be flush and secure, because any lip or gap will alter a ground ball’s path. Relyir supplies both products from the same production facility, ensuring consistent color matching and compatible backing systems across the entire field.
Some facilities opt for full-turf infields (clay-colored short-pile turf), while others use real clay cutouts at the pitcher’s mound and bases. Both approaches work with the Relyir product range — the Flat Curly Tenacity 12 serves either as the primary infield surface or as the transition turf around clay zones.
The warning track — a contrasting short-pile or clay-colored strip at the outfield edge — gives outfielders a tactile cue that they are approaching the wall. This zone can be specified in a different colorway of the same short-pile product, maintaining consistent installation methods across the full field.
For projects referencing WBSC field guidelines, Relyir provides complete specification documentation and works with your installer to achieve the ball-response values your project requires.
Factory Direct from Jiangsu
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.
System Build-Up
The turf roll is one component of a four-layer system. We supply both outfield and infield turf and share build-up guidance with every project so installers achieve the ball-response values specified at design stage.
Compacted aggregate or asphalt with engineered drainage — the foundation that supports both outfield and infield zones with separate sub-base detail where dirt cutouts are used.
Silica sand brushed into the pile — heavier in the outfield (20–30 kg/m²) and adjusted for the short-pile infield to maintain uniform ball response.
SBR, TPE, EPDM or organic (cork) at 8–15 kg/m² in the outfield; infield zones use sand infill or minimal performance infill for a faster surface.
Optional elastic layer beneath the turf for projects targeting higher impact absorption or multi-sport use alongside football or soccer.
Baseball places unusual demands on seam work. Outfield-to-infield transitions, base-path seams and warning-track borders must all be flush and secure — any lip will alter a ground ball’s path at game speed.
Perforated backing ensures water drains through the carpet in both zones, and UV-stabilized PE fibers resist degradation under prolonged sun exposure — important for open-air stadiums and roofed venues alike. Regular brushing and infill top-up, particularly in sliding zones near bases, keep the field performing through its full service life.
The outfield needs 40–50 mm pile for natural-grass appearance and true ball roll, while the infield needs 12–20 mm short-pile for fast, low-bounce ground-ball response. Using the same product in both zones would compromise ball behavior in one or both areas. Relyir supplies both products from the same factory for color and lot consistency.
Both approaches work with the Relyir system. Clay cutouts at the pitcher’s mound and bases give the traditional feel preferred by advanced players. Full-turf infields using clay-colored short-pile turf reduce maintenance and are popular at college and training facilities. We supply the turf for either configuration.
The warning track is a contrasting short-pile or clay-colored strip at the outfield edge that gives outfielders a tactile and visual cue they are approaching the wall. It can be installed using a different colorway of the same short-pile product, keeping installation methods consistent across the full field.
Yes. Softball fields share the same two-zone turf system as baseball, with shorter outfield dimensions. Many community and school facilities spec the same Relyir products for both sports, with line markings for each game tufted into the carpet.
Standard rolls are 4 × 25 m or 2 × 25 m with a maximum width of 5 m. Base-path lines, foul lines and team logos can be tufted directly into the carpet during production. Custom colors for the warning track and infield zones are available on request.
Plan regular brushing in both zones to keep fibers upright and infill level, extra attention to sliding zones near bases where infill displacement is greatest, and periodic seam inspections at zone transitions. Relyir provides maintenance guidance with every installation package.
