UltraBase Court Artificial Grass
The UltraBaseSystems Court Panel (and its sister variant, the Court Foundation Panel) is a high-performance modular sub-base engineered as a 100% permeable, rock-free alternative to concrete or asphalt for sport courts. Measuring 1.25 inches thick, it provides a perfectly flat, structurally rigid foundation for sports like basketball, pickleball, volleyball, and futsal. The Court Panel: Built with a textured, non-slip play surface on the top. This allows users to paint game lines directly onto the panel face or play directly on the modules for non-ball-bounce applications. The Court Foundation Panel: Shares identical dimensions but features a flat, modified surface profile engineered explicitly to support plastic modular game tiles like VersaCourt game tiles. This provides a highly uniform surface to maximize true vertical ball bounce across the tile seams. Moves captured water horizontally through the underside channels at a rate of 12.1 inches per hour. This allows the court panels to easily overlay non-porous hardscapes like rooftops or cracked parking lots without trapping moisture underneath.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
The UltraBase Systems (UBS) Court Panel (also marketed as the Court Foundation Modular Panel) is a heavy-duty, 1.25-inch thick interlocking panel system engineered primarily as an all-in-one, "no-concrete" solution for outdoor and indoor athletic courts. it can function as a high-strength sub-base to replace concrete and asphalt under modular game tiles (like VersaCourt), or it can be played on directly as the final court floor after striping. It is highly sought after by facility operators and homeowners facing strict municipal impervious surface or stormwater runoff regulations. Serves as a completely permeable alternative to a standard concrete pad pour. This allows homeowners to build fully functional backyard multi-sport courts in zones where zoning laws strictly restrict new asphalt or hardscaping. Because the top surface is engineered with a multi-directional texture that balances player grip/friction with fall safety, sports like futsal, volleyball, and tennis can be played directly on the panel face without adding secondary tiles. Acts as a stabilizing subfloor directly beneath plastic sports tiles. When a layer of felt-like geotextile fabric is rolled over the panels, it creates a quiet, non-slip base that locks the overlaying game tiles tightly in place.

Recommended Applications
UltraBase Court Panels (by Ultra Base Systems) are heavy-duty, 1.25-inch thick interlocking modular panels engineered as an all-in-one concrete alternative and playing floor. Unlike subgrade turf panels, Ultra Base Court Panels feature a uniquely textured, skid-resistant top layer that allows athletes to play directly on the panel surface without needing secondary sports tiles, or to use them as a highly permeable foundation for modular court overlayers. Extensively used to install backyard basketball half-courts, pickleball layouts, and volleyball zones without pouring permanent concrete. Because it is a modular, loose-laid permeable structure, it routinely bypasses restrictive municipal impervious surface zoning laws and building permit requirements. Heavily applied for fast-paced futsal and street soccer pitches. The rigid interlocking mechanism yields zero panel-to-panel deviation, creating a smooth, flat deck that optimizes rapid footwork and ball slides.

- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Installing UltraBase Systems (UBS) Court Panels provides a high-performance, structural alternative to pouring a thick concrete slab or asphalt pad for sports courts. Specially engineered to host interlocking modular athletic tiles (such as VersaCourt), these panels are ¾-inch thick and feature a structural grid that completely replaces traditional subbase masonry. According to official UltraBase Systems Product Specifications, the panels utilize an advanced locking technology and a patented under-panel water routing matrix. This system channels rainwater horizontally beneath the tiles and down into the ground, eliminating the risk of pooling water or soft spots during games. Strip away existing sod, root systems, and organic topsoil. Dig down to a uniform depth of only 1 to 2 inches below your target perimeter. This eliminates the need to haul away tons of heavy dirt. Grade the raw subgrade dirt with a uniform 1% pitch leading toward your perimeter drainage swales, gravel trenches, or catch basins.
- 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) Court Panel (also known as the Court Foundation Modular Panel) is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This structural warranty covers the material engineering and interlocking design of the panels when used as a permeable, concrete-free alternative foundation for athletic game tiles (like VersaCourt) or sport turf. Full coverage if the injection-molded panel bodies, under-surface support ribs, or interlocking perimeter teeth crack, warp, or split under normal athletic traffic. The warranty protects the panel’s cellular architecture against crushing, as it is engineered to handle static compression loads exceeding 500 lbs per square inch. Guarantees that the 100% recyclable material blend will not rot, corrode, or structurally degrade when exposed to sub-surface soil chemistry, mold, or bacteria.
