UltraBase Flex Panel Artificial Grass
UltraBaseSystems Floor Flex (specifically the Floor Flex Equestrian and Livestock Panel) is a highly specialized, heavy-duty modular flooring panel engineered by UltraBaseSystems to withstand the massive point loads, high moisture, and rigorous sanitation demands of equine and livestock facilities. If you are instead referring to how standard UltraBase structural modules handle rolling landscapes, the UltraBase Systems Champion Panel is widely recognized for its engineered ability to flex cleanly over yard contours, slopes, and sub-base topography. Horse stalls, wash bays, livestock trailers, veterinary clinics, and barn alleyways. Proprietary, high-impact recycled polymers blended specifically to provide a high coefficient of traction. Traditional hard panels become incredibly slick when wet or soiled. The Floor Flex material formula ensures that horses wearing metal shoes can maintain a strong grip to prevent dangerous slipping or joint twisting. Modeled with a fully permeable drain-through layout. Water, urine, and sanitizing washes drain instantly underneath the panel rather than pooling on top, keeping stall bedding dry and dramatically reducing ammonia odor.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
The UltraBase Systems (UBS) Flex Panel (frequently referred to as the UBS Court Panel or Flex Series) is an interlocking, high-performance structural base system engineered primarily for backyard court conversions, multi-sport game surfaces, rooftop athletic decks, and portable gym flooring.Manufactured by Ultra Base Systems, this multi-patented grid is designed as a direct substitute for thick concrete slab pours, asphalt, or traditional packed stone aggregates. It features specific integrated expansion joints and lateral tabbing to serve as the ideal foundational underlayment for modular sports tiles or court surface roll-outs. Homeowners heavily use the panels to overlay cracked, settling walkways, or uneven lawns. It transforms unstable dirt or sod zones into perfectly uniform sports matrices for basketball, pickleball, and volleyball without needing a concrete mixer truck. Extremely popular for elevated residential or commercial rooftop amenities. Because the panels are highly lightweight compared to concrete, they safely stay within building structural weight limits while preventing damage to the waterproof roofing membranes underneath.
- Natural multi-tone appearance
- Soft realistic blade structure
- Drainage-friendly construction
- Low-maintenance performance
- UV-stabilized color retention

Recommended Applications
UltraBase Systems' flexible panel options—primarily represented by the Champion Panel (and the Champion E-Series) and the shock-absorbing Omni Panel—are engineered to provide structural subgrade stability while flexing effortlessly over contours. Designed at a slimmer ¾-inch thickness, these panels offer an economical, adaptable alternative to rigid aggregate bases. The premier application for the flexible Champion Panel series. Its flexible polymer composition allows installers to easily conform the panels over mounded earth or specialized foam contours to build rolling fairways and custom undulations without panel joints buckling. Deployed in backyards with natural slopes, curves, or uneven ground. The panels flex to match the existing grade, completely eliminating the need for heavy excavating equipment or concrete retaining edges. The Omni Panel variant features a built-in shock-absorbing structure that gives under impact. It is heavily utilized for firehouse training yards, military fitness pads, and playgrounds to reduce joint stress during dynamic movements. Installed as a lightweight, permeable underlayment for elevated spaces. Its flexible profile conforms to the natural drainage pitch of roof membranes while its vertical drain slots allow stormwater to exit efficiently.

- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Installing UltraBase Systems (UBS) Champion 14mm/20mm Flex Panels trades the high-rigidity structure of traditional subbase methods for high-flexibility, macro-porous turf underlays. Specially engineered to follow complex ground undulations, these panels measure either 14mm or 20mm thick and feature an interlocking joint structure that mimics a tank-tread design to allow the grid to bend seamlessly over hills, valley contours, and sloped landscapes. According to official UltraBase Systems Engineering Specifications, the layout relies on a 100% vertical drainage cell profile capable of routing heavy stormwater directly through the panels to the ground below. This eliminates the need for deep aggregate excavations and traditional perimeter nailer boards. Remove all natural sod, weeds, roots, and organic surface topsoil. Dig down to a uniform depth of only 1 to 2 inches below your target perimeter. This shallow depth is a key advantage, saving hours of heavy digging compared to traditional 4-inch base excavations.
- 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 UltraBase Systems (UBS) Professional "Flex" Panel is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This structural warranty covers the material composition and engineering of the modular panels when used as an alternative sub-base foundation for synthetic turf lawns, pet runs, and golf putting greens. Unlike rigid base options, its engineered flexibility allows it to contour to ground breaks without sacrificing structural strength. Full coverage if the 16 interlocking teeth per panel crack, snap, or structurally fatigue under normal load conditions, preventing panel shifting. Guarantees that the 100% recyclable polymer compound will not rot, corrode, or degrade when buried underground or exposed to sub-surface moisture and soil acids. Safeguards the panel's interior support structure, which is engineered to handle massive compression loads exceeding 1,335 lbs per square inch.

Is UltraBase Flex Panel Right For Your Project?
The UltraBase Systems Elite Panel is a heavy-duty, 2-inch thick structural sub-base system designed specifically to construct professional-grade synthetic turf putting greens and miniature golf courses. Unlike other UltraBase panels that serve as general concrete replacements for sports courts, the Elite Panel features a robust, smooth-top profile. It is engineered to mimic the firm, natural feel of a real golf course subgrade, dictating a true ball roll and realistic cup drops. This is a primary use case. Because the panels do not require excavation, installers use them to build custom putting greens directly on top of concrete garage floors, finished basements, or indoor training studios. The system integrates seamlessly with custom contour foam. This allows developers to build personalized breaks, hillocks, and challenging undulations into an indoor facility without messy construction. Builders use Elite Panels to form the foundation of indoor or outdoor mini-golf holes. The panels interlock to create a perfectly level and flat surface, ensuring there are no unnatural seams or floor deviations that would ruin a ball's path.
