PROFESSIONAL PANEL
Interlocking Foundation Floor Panels Used for Artificial Grass Applications
Professional Panel
The Professional panel is the workhorse of the UBS lineup at a robust 1.25” thickness and 2 lbs. per sq. ft. it is the strongest panel made by Ultra Base. The professional panel excels for uses that range from synthetic turf putting greens, tee lines, or any location where heavy load traffic may be an issue while eliminating the need for concrete. Designed with both horizontal and vertical drainage capabilities and our patented turf barbs to keep synthetic turf in place, simply put, the Professional panel is a better playing surface with a safer and more predictable base.

Simply Better From the Ground Up
Our Professional Panel was designed to minimize costly and time-consuming site preparation for both indoor and outdoor projects. We created a base structure that not only is capable of supporting enormously heavy loads, we also created a system that greatly improved both GMAX and HIC impact numbers. Simply put, we made better playing surfaces with a safer and more predictable base. Drainage is not a problem for UltraBaseSystems panels. They were designed to direct rainwater away from seeping above turf and affecting players by facilitating large water flow volumes both vertically and horizontally. Our patented interlocking tooth design allows perfect and smooth alignment from panel to panel, while our non-slip turf barbs mean your turf isn’t going anywhere. There is nothing else like these panels out there.
Engineered to Perform
Safe and Strong
“Built solid to play safe” isn’t just a catch phrase, it’s our mission! We’ve created a high-performance panel system that is structurally superior to its competitors. We proudly manufacture all of our panels from high impact, post-industrial recycled polymers, and then mold them into a patented geometric design that can not only withstand heavy loads and high impact, but can also provide a superior drainage system for any installation. The technology behind our panel system allows for reduced ground preparation, minimizing install times and cost of labor.
Drain Slots
Our vertical flow rates of the Pro panel can range from 340 inches to 1500 inches per hour, and horizontal flow rates are at about 126 inches per hour. Each UBS panel can store 3.58 gallons underneath it! This is all due to our patented under side cell design that allows water to store then rapidly flow without clogging through super-sized multi-directional drain slots on the underside of the panel.
Cell Structure
Because we designed our base panel system as a replacement for compacted rock, asphalt, or concrete, that mean that we had to make something that would be able to withstand the same load capacity. Well, we did. Due to engineering our panels with a 4.25’’ hexagonal cell structure, we’ve created a static load capacity for the weakest location of the panel equivalent to 374 psi (26.3 kgf/cm2). Load values when placed over a full descending cellular rib are 998 psi (70.17 kgf/cm2). Our panels can take loads like forklifts, emergency vehicles and utility trucks, among others.
Turf Grip
Our panels contain 3,000 turf barbs each. These patented barbs create highly coefficient friction which removes the turf movement issues you may face with other base systems like stone. When paired with a felt or foam backed turf, our barbs will create a stationary turf system that won’t move while it is properly installed on UltraBaseSystems panels. That means we’ve created a system that requires less infill for your turf.
Panel Locking System
We have patented the over-under locking tooth design that you’ll find on every one of our base panels. This technology creates the perfect alignment from panel to panel to promote a smooth surface for any installation. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a flat or contoured surface. We’ve achieved true ball roll and bounce with the planarity created by our system. It’s visually appealing and functional.
Tooth Detail
The interlocking tooth system not only ensures a smooth playing surface for athletic footing, but it also ensures that UBS panels stay locked together once a quadrant of 9 panels is assembled. This technology prevents our panels from shifting or disengaging due to weather or athletic movement from above.
Artificial Grass Drainage System
Ultra Base panels function both as a foundation and a drainage system which make the panels an ideal choice as a base system for artificial turf solutions like fields, playgrounds, rooftops, lawns and more. Learn more about how Ultra Base panels work to efficiently drain water through artificial grass to avoid stagnant water build up.
Applications For The Professional Panel
Athletic Field Solution
UltraBaseSystems’ panel base technology is that product. The dream of constructing world class sports fields in days, or weeks not months, in virtually any location with unsurpassed safety, drainage and playability is finally a reality.
Landscaping Solution
Stop living in the Stone Age. The days of invasively excavating the front yard or commercial property in order to install synthetic turf and filling it with dusty stone are gone! Ultra Base Systems makes installing landscaping turf in any commercial or residential location easier and faster than ever before. Owning a no maintenance synthetic turf lawn has never been more practical.
Golf Solution
We should be good at golf! We invented panel base putting greens over a decade ago. It’s all about perfect ball roll and UBS greens deliver perfection with every stroke. Dead flat or contoured to challenge any skill level, Ultra Base Systems is improving golfers’ games on every continent in the world.
Playground Solution
The industry spoke, we listened and created a new panel with all the engineering accomplishments of the Professional panel but at a new, lower price point. Designed at just ¾ of an inch high…
Rooftop Solution
Once considered to be a space only occupied by air conditioning units and pigeons, rooftops have taken on a new identity for recreation and leisure. The lightweight UBS system delivers unprecedented vertical and horizontal drainage, structural superiority underfoot, and the flexibility to follow any rooftop irregularities making the Ultra Base Systems rooftop panel a perfect choice for converting unused rooftops into highly functional recreation and sports environments.
Basketball Solution
Is basketball your game or a friendly match of bocce with the neighbors more your speed? UBS panels allow for the construction of a home or corporate court where zoning restrictions, lack of accessibility or the need for temporary recreational courts come in to play.
Kennel Solution
our dog may love playing in the mud but do you? Solve the problem once and for all with an Ultra Base Systems synthetic turf kennel or dog park. Designed to drain, UBS allows pet waste to quickly wash through the panels and be absorbed into the ground just like nature intended. If you want to cover that unsightly concrete pet slab and replace it with beautiful, soft turf then look no further. Dogs love UBS and so will you.
Paver and Driveway Solution
Once again, Ultra Base Systems is turning traditional construction techniques upside down. By simply flipping the UBS Professional or Champion panel cell-side-up, we have created 100% load dispersion over every panel resulting in unsurpassed structural and traffic load bearing capacity.
