TigerTurf Tournament 1000 has all the qualities needed by St Therese’s Primary School in Essendon: multi-use, an excellent tennis surface, with the durability required for daily use by the school and the neighbouring tennis club.

Impressive Quality

When it was time for St Therese’s Primary School to resurface its three existing tennis courts, shared with the local tennis club in Essendon, TigerTurf was delighted to be asked to take up the project. We take pleasure in working with primary schools to resolve problems of sites and usage with a lasting, loved school asset.

Top of Its Game

As always, the TigerTurf construction team began by inspecting the site, identifying areas of concern regarding movement and minor base subsidence. When the existing surface was removed, we repaired the problem areas to mitigate the pooling of water on a level base that will support the TigerTurf Tournament 1000 surface at the top of its game throughout a long lifetime of service.

Durable, Multi-Use Asset

Then, the fun began for the school, with the installation of the fresh green TigerTurf Tournament 1000 surface, marked clearly in white for tennis; however, the court is certainly not restricted to one sporting application.

The three tennis courts for school and club use will be an all-weather multi-sports surface for PE, general sports and recreational use. The bright green TigerTurf Tournament 1000 courts are an attractive feature of the school grounds and, of course, the favourite place for the students come together.

The school now has just what it asked us for: a durable, multi-use asset that will inspire students to engage in outdoor activities with their friends – perfect!

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:

  • 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.
