What makes sports sand different from other sands?

Sports sand is ideal for improving and enhancing playing areas for a number of different recreational activities and pitches, such as golf courses, rugby and football pitches, polo fields, equestrian menages, and cricket turfs.

What makes sports sand different?

If you’ve ever tried to hit a golf ball out of a bunker or hopped, skipped and jumped into a long-jump pit, you’ll know the sand used is no ordinary sand. As it needs to provide an even, safe surface for sports to be played on, specialist sports sand needs to be different from the sand you find on the beach or on a construction site in a number of ways.

Typically, you can expect good quality sports sand to possess the following qualities in order to provide you with a safe surface on which to play your sport:

• Smaller, finer grains for a softer surface
• Washed to removed impurities such as stones, clay and dirt
• Improved porosity to provide excellent aeration and drainage
• Consistent grading
