The Importance of Drainage
When a prominent civil engineer specializing in base design was asked, “What are the three main reasons for base failure on a synthetic turf field or artificial grass lawn?” His answer was quite simple; Water, water and more water. We took this advice to heart and that is why Ultra Base panels are designed to provide superior vertical and horizontal water flow.
Designed to Drain
With vertical flow rates ranging from 340 to 1500 inches per hour running through the panels, coupled with our patented under side cell design which allows water to rapidly flow under the panel, UBS drains when it rains.
Regardless of whether you are installing on a permeable or impermeable surface, the storage capacity built into every Ultra Base panel provides time for water to dissipate into the ground or run under the panels to an awaiting drainage system. A perfect combination of practicality and performance.
Panels installed without turf will drain vertically through the panel at a rate of over 350 in / 8890 mm per hour. Panels installed with a two and one quarter inch tall turf and filled with over 6 lbs/2,72 kg of sand and rubber will drain at rate of over 175 in/4445 mm per hour.

Primary Turf Base Panels
DrainBase
Unlike the structural panels listed above, DrainBase is a very economical tile that is typically used as part of a complete turf installation. It enhances the performance, durability and safety of artificial grass while minimizing the risks of odor, mold and infill migration and compaction.
- Maximum Drainage - Permeable design allows for moisture to drain better and comply with most building codes and ordinances.
- Flat & Stable - 24 Interlocking connections create flat and sturdy service without the "honeycomb voids" of competing drain tile.
- Economical - Low cost solution that is easy to install and maximizes the life and performance of the turf.
- Environmentally Friendly - Made from 100% recycled plastics.
