Frequently Asked Questions

What is a synthetic turf infill barrier containment system?

A synthetic turf infill barrier containment system is a perimeter barrier designed to prevent rubber or sand infill from migrating off a synthetic turf field through chain link fencing. The system uses durable mesh fabric and a weighted bottom to contain infill material and keep it within the playing surface.

Why do synthetic turf fields need an infill containment barrier?

Synthetic turf fields can experience infill flyout and migration, especially along fence lines and high traffic areas. An infill barrier containment system helps keep rubber and sand infill on the field, reducing maintenance and preventing material from leaving the playing surface.

What material is used in Sportsfield’s infill containment barrier system?

Can synthetic turf infill containment barriers include custom graphics or logos?

Yes, the containment system can include custom digitally printed lettering or logos, allowing facilities to incorporate branding, team graphics, or sponsor messaging along the fence line.

Where are synthetic turf infill barrier containment systems typically installed?

These systems are commonly installed along chain link fences surrounding synthetic turf athletic fields where infill migration and flyout can occur.

How does an infill containment system help reduce synthetic turf maintenance?

By preventing infill migration outside the field perimeter, a containment barrier helps reduce the need for infill replacement and cleanup, improving long term maintenance efficiency for synthetic turf facilities.

Who typically installs synthetic turf infill containment systems?

Synthetic turf infill containment barriers are typically installed by sports field builders, contractors, and facility managers during construction or retrofits of synthetic turf athletic fields.
