Abstract/Contents:Discusses synthetic playing surfaces for sports, advising that "the key factor when selecting an artificial pitch [is] knowing what sports will be played on it." Explains that subsequent factors are which sport will take priority and how much money is available for the project. States that "a combination product to meet the needs of dual sports" has been introduced. Explains that "other systems include the use of polyethylene, which has fibulated fibres, allowing the fibres to open up into individual blades." Suggests that "life expectancy of the surface is dependent on usage...but is generally given as 10 to 14 years."
