Temporary sports pitch assembly
Temporary sports pitch 100 comprising at least one base layer 104 comprising a plurality of base layer elements 110 removably couplable to one another each comprising draining means, at least one shock absorbing layer 106 comprising a plurality of shock absorbing elements 114 removably couplable to one another, and at least one playing surface layer 108 comprising a plurality of playing surface elements 116 removably couplable to one another. The playing surface elements may be coupled by a temporary seam or hook-and-loop fastener. The playing surface layer may be unfilled synthetic turf having a textile secondary backing layer. The shock absorbing elements may be closed cell or cross-linked polyethylene foam having slits for accommodating volume changes resulting from temperature changes. The shock absorbing elements may have a non-woven fabric attached to their underside for gripping the base layer. The shock absorbing elements may be removably coupled by corresponding projections and recesses, or by adhesive. There may be a geotextile or geogrid layer between the base layer and the ground 102. The drainage means may be holes. The base layer elements may be removably coupled by interlocking features or ties or clips. The base layer elements may be plastic such as polypropylene.
