Case Studies

Ponsonby Intermediate’s superb all-weather multi-sport court

Ponsonby Intermediate was over the moon with their new all-weather multi-sport court. “TigerTurf project manager, George Lewis, worked with us (Ponsonby Intermediate) to replace our original TigerTurf all-weather multi-sports court and lawns TigerTurf areas, destroyed when an asbestos fire swept through part of the school grounds, leaving the students nowhere to play sports or games. George organised the reinstatement of the turfs for us, which he and his TigerTurf team handled superbly; we now have a wonderful outcome for our students. We would like to acknowledge our gratitude to the TigerTurf team, their professionalism and ability to get the job done.” Nick Wilson, Principal, Ponsonby Intermediate School.

Rebuilding Ponsonby Intermediate's all-weather multi-sport court

TigerTurf was determined to restore their beloved Trophy all-weather multi-sport court and lawns for the Ponsonby Intermediate students as soon as we could after hearing the sad news of the destruction suffered by the school. Having just celebrated the opening of the original TigerTurf court and courtyard with the school late the previous year, we had all the plans and specifications to hand and were able to get the project underway quickly with only some repair work to the base to be completed before the turf installation took place.

TigerTurf Trophy all-weather multi-sport court for games, Netball, Basketball and more

The students were delighted to have their fabulous TigerTurf Trophy multi-sport court and games area back in play, clearly marked up for basketball and netball, with four-square and dodgeball games alongside. We, too, were delighted to see the renewed Trophy court pulsing with life and energy.

The smaller multi-coloured games lawn with four 4-square courts is celebration of colour and fun enjoyed at every opportunity.

Summer Envy 35 XWR

Artificial lawn in commercial and residential spaces is becoming increasingly popular. TigerTurf’s Summer Envy 35 XWR is a beautiful and authentic alternative to natural grass manufactured from TenCate’s XWR fibre for high durability. The medium blade and high-density thatch provide a soft and comfortable feel under foot with colours that accurately replicate real grass. It is ideal for playgrounds and early childhood centres, businesses requiring attractive landscape and workspaces, landscape designers looking for a unique solution for clients or councils needing natural landscapes but are restricted by access, maintenance and water supplies.
