subject: Avoid A Festival Style Washout This Summer [print this page] Since the rise of the summer festival hype in the UK the main talking point is usually the quality of artists performances closely followed by poor weather, flooded tents and wellies covered in mud. Festivals such as Creamfields, Leeds and Reading have always been amongst the iconic summer festivals in which people forget the sun cream and swap it for an extra jumper.
The heavy rainfall makes it beyond impossible to feel comfortable as you stand up to the ankles in mud and own a tent that quickly sinks before having to abandon everything on the last day. Real grass surfaces and turbulent weather conditions do not mix well for any purpose and the other option of artificial surfaces has quickly become a very popular solution for all purposes.
On a smaller scale people are beginning to realise the downsides of real grass are being overshadowed by the amazing development in artificial astro turf for gardens.
Astro Turf for either the home or playing surfaces has been engineered to be incredibly close to grass in feel, looks and performance with added benefits that grass simply cannot offer.
Synthetic grass has come a long way since the days of playing surfaces first installed by Queens Park Rangers in 1981 followed by 3 more clubs and finally removed by Preston North End in 1994. They were compromising on looks and were much tougher than grass causing injuries and a poor event for the spectators when the players struggled to control the ball and stay on their feet.
Modern artificial surfaces give the owner more chance to enjoy it with no maintenance required as well as a guarantee that it will not become damaged no matter how adverse the weather. There are also easy install guides for self-installation onto either hard surfaces or an existing lawn.
Another benefit of artificial surfaces is the fact that it requires no pesticides or weed killers making your back garden environmentally friendly. With no need for any harmful products to be added to the lawn the synthetic surface is always suitable for children and pets.
Sporting events in the UK are regularly postponed due to waterlogged pitches, this new turf alternative has made them a thing of the past and for your own back garden you can avoid a washout this summer. Enjoy the benefits of Astro turf for gardens as a cost-effective alternative to the usual patchy, flooded, high maintenance real grass this summer.
