TigerTurf aces new surfaces for boat club

Leading artificial turf manufacturer, TigerTurf UK, is set to complete a three year project involving the manufacture of ten cutting edge tennis court surfaces for Warwick Boat Club.

The multi-sport club, which specialises in rowing, squash, bowls and tennis, required an upgrade on its tennis surfaces to make them suitable for recreational games, as well as more elite team performance.

Limited maintenance and the ability for the surface to perform in a range of weather conditions, including rain and frost, were also of paramount importance to the club.

After an extensive and competitive tender process in 2011, TigerTurf’s Advantage Pro surface - which offers a 29 percent longer life span compared to other artificial surfaces - was chosen and the club has staggered the court refurbishments over three years to limit downtime.

Designed with shock-absorbing characteristics that reduce the risk of injury and stress to the body, the surface has been designed so that it doesn’t shine when wet or under floodlights, and has also been tested to International Tennis Federation (ITF) standards. This culminates in a premium, all-round surface that players of all ages and experience levels can enjoy.

Tony Baker, Tennis Captain, at Warwick Boat Club commented: “A considerable amount of research went into the specification process and some of our coaches, including a World, European and Wimbledon champion visited a local tennis club to sample the Advantage Pro surface. Their high recommendations certainly pushed us over the line when it came to making the decision on which surface to install.

“Since having the ten surfaces installed, the popularity of tennis at our club has never been stronger. Seven of the courts are floodlit and all of them can cope in harsh weather conditions, which extends playing time all year round. We’re very pleased with our decision to work with TigerTurf on the huge refurbishment project.”

Paul Langford, Managing Director of TigerTurf UK commented: “We’re pleased to see our surfaces being received so well by large, prestigious clubs such as Warwick Boat Club and are certain that the courts will serve them well for many years to come.”

The installation work was completed by Fosse Contracts Ltd, based in Leicester.
