SporTurf 36 PL705 Artificial Grass
Sporturf 36 PL705 (also known in the industry as PL705 Pro Ball Turf) is a high-density, commercial-grade synthetic turf engineered primarily for indoor sports environments, baseball training facilities, and functional fitness gym floors. Manufactured by Sporturf, its core competitive advantage is its completely infill-free design. It delivers a natural-feeling, uniform surface without the need for loose sand or messy crumb rubber top-dressings. It is highly favored for indoor and outdoor batting tunnels. The unique texturized "coil" fiber construction allows ball carts, pitching machines, and hitting nets to roll smoothly over the surface without getting caught. The dense fiber structure is specifically optimized to withstand the intense, grinding traction of player cleat pivots—such as home plate batter's boxes and pitching mound landing decks. Fitness center developers use PL705 to construct functional cross-training zones. It accommodates high-intensity bodyweight drills, ladder footwork, and conditioning routines. Because it requires zero infill, it is clean enough to be installed inside team locker rooms, entrance tunnels, and stadium pavilions. It can be glued down permanently over indoor concrete or laid down outdoors over a highly compacted aggregate stone drainage foundation.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Sporturf 36 PL705 is heavily deployed across three primary industries: baseball/softball training complexes, high-intensity commercial fitness gyms, and multi-sport indoor training fields. Because its 36-ounce face weight and 9/16-inch low pile require zero messy rubber infill, facility owners use it to maintain a clean, dust-free environment while handling severe, repetitive foot traffic. Rolled down in 15-foot wide seamless strips inside hitting cages. Because it has no loose sand or rubber particles, pitching machines and ball baskets roll across the floor effortlessly without getting jammed by debris. Installed directly underneath home plate hitting zones. The texturized, curled yarn configuration resists the intense twisting, grinding, and pivoting forces of steel or molded cleats without shredding or balding . Used to wrap wood or fiberglass pitching mounds. It stands up to the aggressive toe-drag of pitchers during their throwing release. The 9/16-inch pile height keeps the turf flat and stable [PL705 Pro Ball Turf2.pdf]. Heavy steel workout sleds glide smoothly over the texturized fibers without catching, bundling, or tearing the turf away from the subfloor.
- Natural multi-tone appearance

Installation & Care Notes
Sporturf 36 PL705 installation steps vary depending on whether the layout is a permanent commercial glue-down over indoor concrete or an outdoor aggregate build. Because it is a zero-infill, low-profile texturized turf, any errors in the floor preparation or seaming will show through the surface. To achieve a perfectly flat, safe athletic plane, installers follow strict commercial guidelines. The concrete must be clean, dry, and level. Installers grind down high spots, fill low cracks with a polymer concrete patch, and perform a calcium chloride moisture test (must register under 3 lbs per 1000 sq. ft.). The turf rolls are unrolled across the space and allowed to acclimate to the facility's temperature for 24 to 48 hours. This lets the factory-compressed backing relax and stops wrinkles from forms later. Installers apply a premium, full-spread polyurethane turf adhesive using a 1/8" x 1/8" x 1/8" square-notched trowel.Seaming & Compacting: The seams are tightly butt-jointed together using commercial seam tape and adhesive. Finally, the entire floor is compressed using a 75-lb to 100-lb steel floor roller within two hours of laying to guarantee absolute bonding.
- Professional base preparation recommended
- Use appropriate infill for the application
- Brush fibers periodically to maintain appearance
- Rinse as needed for dust, pets, or debris
- Confirm drainage needs before installation
Warranty & Availability
The Sporturf 36 PL705 is covered by a standard 5-year or 8-year manufacturer's limited warranty, depending on the exact specification variant ordered and whether the installation is situated in an indoor or outdoor environment. This industrial-grade warranty primarily protects the facility owner against premature UV degradation, extreme yarn fading, and manufacturing defects. Guarantees that the texturized polyethylene fibers will not prematurely embrittle, crack, or completely break down under standard radiant light exposure. Insures against extreme, uneven fading across the turf rolls. It ensures that the 7 available vibrant color choices retain their visual shade uniformity under reasonable cleaning and use. Guarantees the primary backing matrix holds the fiber tufts securely, preventing massive yarn pull-out under standard operational athletic traffic.
