What Is MUGA Surfacing?
MUGA surfacing refers to the specialised ground materials used for multi-use game areas, allowing different sports to be played on a single surface.
It is designed to provide optimal grip, durability, and weather resistance, making it suitable for sports like football, basketball, tennis, and netball.
The right MUGA surface enhances performance, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the longevity of sports facilities.

How Does the Installation Process Work?
The installation of macadam MUGA surfacing involves several stages to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting result.
First, the site is cleared and levelled, with drainage considerations addressed to prevent water buildup.
A compacted aggregate base is laid to create a solid foundation, followed by the application of the macadam mixture, which is rolled and compressed for a smooth, even surface.
Once cured, optional coatings or sports line markings are applied to enhance grip and define playing areas.
The entire process typically takes four to seven days, depending on project size and weather conditions.
How Do You Maintain Macadam MUGA Surfacing?
Maintaining macadam MUGA surfacing requires routine sweeping, pressure cleaning, repairs and applying protective sealant.
Regular sweeping and pressure washing remove dirt, moss, and debris, preventing surface wear.
Occasional repainting of line markings keeps sports areas clearly defined.
Applying a protective sealant every three to five years enhances durability and prevents water damage.
Prompt repairs of minor cracks or surface damage prevent costly resurfacing in the future.
How to Choose the Right MUGA Surfacing for Your Needs?
Selecting the right MUGA surfacing depends on factors such as intended sports use, budget, maintenance expectations, and player safety.
Macadam is ideal for facilities needing a hard-wearing, multi-sport surface with low maintenance.
Polymeric rubber is better suited for high-impact activities requiring shock absorption, while artificial grass is preferred for football and rugby.
