A Wolverhampton academy is enjoying two brand new multi-purpose sports pitches using our specialist sports fencing installed by key customer ETC Sports Surfaces.
The new multi-use games area with hockey tarmac and larger floodlit 3G artificial grass pitch (AGP) give students at the North East Wolverhampton (NEW) Academy on Marsh Lane, Fordhouses attractive pitches to play football, hockey, tennis and basketball.
NEW Academy is committed to achieving excellence through endeavour for students from 11 to 18 years. The new pitches will inspire the youngsters to play outdoor sports in a safe, enclosed, all-weather surface area.
The AGP is ideal for private, club and academy use as it needs very little maintenance throughout the year and is less slippery after rain.
Zaun supplied 3m high Duo8 double wire panel sports fencing, with hockey mesh on the lowest 225mm to withstand high-velocity hockey ball impacts in place of traditional timber hockey boards.
The highly durable fencing is ‘graffiti proof and offers high rebound similar to a hard surface that causes balls to bounce back at almost the same angle they strike the fence.
