Good drainage is essential for good sportsturf.
One of the main advantages of the Shelton drainage System is that damage to the sportsturf is minimised.
  • All tractors and equipment are fitted with turf tyres.
  • A 75 mm perforated pipe is laid in a 90 mm trench.
  • Where possible main drains are laid off the playing surface which significantly reduces damage to the field.
