The TigerTurf sports grounds recently installed at Eastern Ranges School in Victoria have added colour and energy to the heart of the school. The Assistant Principal, John Glare, says: “The students love the increased space and the team games they are able to play.”

The Eastern Ranges School Story

TigerTurf Tournament gives an excellent surface for several sports, and is especially popular for use in schools, community sports centres and recreational areas.

No Matter The Weather

Now, whatever the season, the students at Eastern Ranges School can play outside during breaks from lessons, and practise team sports during PE and after school. With the extra exercise, come many benefits: increased concentration, fitness, and settled classes being just a few.

That was a smart move!

TigerTurf was asked by Eastern Ranges School to create a useful, durable sports centre to replace the existing cracked, rough, useless asphalt play area. The resulting, brilliantly coloured
multi-sport turf is marked up ready to use for tennis, basketball, four square, cricket, and even has a running track.

John Glare remarked: “Who knows, with some more training on the running track we might even produce a future Olympian.” We do hope so, John, and look forward to that day too.

The installation of the TigerTurf multisports surface has increased the recreational area at Eastern Ranges School, presented opportunities for the students to gain extra skills and fitness throughout the year, and brought life and colour to a previously unused part of the school. That was a smart move!

Australia's most advanced synthetic turf manufacturer with a passion for performance

Performance is everything when it comes to synthetic turf.

You need a surface that will go the distance, with minimal maintenance. We provide dependable, high performance surfaces for:

  • Sports fields, courts, and greens
  • School campuses
  • Playgrounds
  • Residential lawns
  • Commercial landscaping

And more. With our decades of experience, we’ll find a solution that is high quality and high performance, without being high maintenance.

Made for Australian Conditions - We’re one of the largest synthetic turf manufacturers in the world, but we started in Auckland, New Zealand in 1981. We still make almost all of our products in our Auckland factory, with materials manufactured by our parent company, TenCate Grass. Local manufacturing means that we can ensure quality is maintained throughout the process.

Accreditations and Memberships - Because of the quality, performance and realistic nature of TigerTurf’s artificial grass, TigerTurf is recommended for high level training and competition. Many of our artificial grass turfs have been approved and certified by world sporting bodies, including FIFA, World Rugby, FIH, and ITF. It's also ISO 9001 accredited.

Experience and Expertise - You want to make sure the company you choose to work with knows what they're doing. We've been in the synthetic turf industry for over 40 years, and have also been instrumental in developing the products and systems that result in world class, top performing surfaces. We design, manufacture, install and maintain our surfaces, applying the innovation and expertise we've gained over the years into every project - large or small.

Quality and Innovation - We control the quality and performance of every synthetic turf system we create, in our own factory, at every step of the production process. We control where and how our yarns are extruded. We control which products go into our fibres. We develop and manufacture our own backing cloths. We develop, manufacture and build the performance bases that we lay our turf systems over. And finally, we can recycle our old, end-of-life products into new, start-of-life products.

Industry Leading Products - Our industry leading products cover a range of uses for sports, in all levels of education and in sports grounds for elite and community levels of play. We also provide quality surfaces for domestic and commercial landscaping.
