New Indoor Training Facility
The Hawkes Bay Magpies Rugby Franchise now has its own home in Napier with a gym, meeting rooms, offices and an indoor skills training facility, for which TigerTurf Wett Pro was selected as the best of the best. An excellent match for the Magpies, WETT Pro is the most durable performance sports turf on the current international market.

TigerTurf WETT Pro Is Supremely Durable With Performance Qualities
The 50m long indoor skills training room will include sprints, ball skills, agility and sleds to develop strength and endurance. Luckily, TigerTurf WETT Pro was designed with both these qualities and many more to make it the best gym surface available. We installed a BSW 10mm rubber shock pad beneath the WETT Pro surface to absorb impact, sound and to enhance the performance and longevity of the WETT Pro sports surface.

Hard Wearing Characteristics:

TigerTurf installations comply with the New Zealand Building Code and Indoor Fire Regulations
The New Zealand Building Code and Indoor Fire Regulations require a dressing of sand to be spread on the WETT Pro sports system to comply with the rules governing the safe use of synthetic turfs indoors.

TigerTurf is meticulous in complying with all local and national Building Code and Safety regulations when installing our products. Safety for users, our teams and the environment are the prime considerations in all our planning and construction.

TigerTurf WETT Pro is designed for heavy use on sports fields, courts and gyms
TigerTurf WETT Pro is recognised as the premium gym surface for the outstanding qualities that make it a superb sports system in any context.

The surface has excellent traction to provide the sure footing that is essential for the intense, fast-moving training routine of the Magpies and is firm enough under-foot to support fast response without significantly increasing fatigue.

A neutral, grain-free surface, WETT Pro does not impede sled training or ball movement in any direction. And of course, being able to move naturally in any direction is essential for skills practice at this intense level.

TigerTurf shock pads improve the gym training experience, athletes’ health and turf performance
For the Hawkes Bay Magpies, it was necessary to install a shock pad beneath the WETT Pro surface to reduce the impact on joints and to mitigate injuries from falls during regular, strenuous sessions at the gym.

- Made in New Zealand
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.

- 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 almost 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.

- 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.

- 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.
