Installation & Care Notes
Installing the Shaw Sports Turf B1K baseball system requires a multi-step construction process—from sub-base preparation to infill tuning. Designed specifically for baseball to mimic natural grass and prevent player fatigue. Dig out the field area and grade the soil to the exact topographical specifications, ensuring a slight slope for drainage. Install a crushed stone or aggregate sub-base, compacting it to create a stable, load-bearing foundation. Install the required shock-attenuation pad (such as the B1K Natural or Double Play shock pad) across the field to reduce athlete fatigue and ensure proper shock absorption.
- 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
