3 key factors to consider when installing all weather surfaces for sports, playground surfaces and industrial floor solutions (Michael McSweeney)

An all weather sports surface, a safe playground surface or the right industrial floor solution: luxury or necessity? Whether we are in a playground, at work in a clean room or restaurant environment, or training on a synthetic or artificial rugby pitch, we are somewhat exposed to a potential injury. Slips and trips account for up to 35% of major accidents in the food and drink industry alone (source; hse.gov.uk). It is for this reason that the right sports surface or industrial flooring system for work as much as leisure is a necessity. Here are three important factors to consider when purchasing a floor surface for industrial flooring solutions, wet rooms, and sports surfaces such as an all weather pitch or a tennis surface, presented by Marie McSweeney, Manager of Irish based Playground and Sports Surface Installation experts McSweeney Sports Surfaces and wet room and industrial floor suppliers Mcresinfloors.com

1. Foundation

What's under the surface? The surface our shoes stand upon, is the final layer of a whole system, and the finishing element of a process. Laying the right sports surface, playground surface or industrial flooring application often requires surface excavation, heavy duty clearing and preparation. Many layers may be put down in order to achieve the right balance of durability, shock absorption, grip and comfort. A typical multi layer surface that we walk on in our supermarket, warehouse or wet room environment involves just 2 - 4 mm of thickness, but let's take a quick look at what comprises this typical floor. A Viasol epoxy resin coated system as supplied by http://mcresinfloors.com will work upwards typically from concrete and include an adhesive primer. Then a levelling layer may be added before the top coat is applied. It is only then that the seal coat is applied and any finishing trim after that. So even in this simple example there are up to 5 layers beneath our feet on any typical sports surface, industrial floor or wet room floor surface.

2. Standards Adherence

If laying a tennis surface, a GAA all weather pitch or an artificial football playing surface, the governing body for that sport or discipline will have floor specifications and recommendations. Both the Lawn Tennis Association and the International Tennis Association have approved specifications for synthetic grass court and acrylic court surface installations. There are usually three forces at play for any sports surface installation: safety, durability and replication of natural surface dynamics. However, multi-sport playing surfaces can be achieved so that each sports requirements can be attained and exceeded. But this should be checked first. Usually GAA, Rugby and soccer can be catered for on the one artificial sports surface.


In a clean room or industrial floors environment it may in certain situations require attainment of recommended or approved specifications such as having a terrazzo floor rise a certain number of centimetres up the adjoining wall. In fact in many food preparation areas, the walls are now required to be of the same resin finish as the floor so maximum hygiene can be maintained.

3. Maintenance

So you've invested wisely in your new tennis surface, community playground surface and play equipment or industrial floor and it looks great. A wise decision is to include a recommended period of maintenance in your contract with your sports or industrial floor surface installation expert. They will have a supply of the correct resin and finishing materials for preventative maintenance and repair that will provide ongoing durability and aesthetic uniformity.

So in summary, any floor installation must properly account for safety, fitness for purpose, and durability. Each industry and sport's governing body will actually have an approved specification and this is in place for everyone's safety. Your professional sports surface and industrial flooring supplier will have knowledge of these requirements and be able to install accordingly and also achieve your aesthetic preferences which are of particular importance for playground surfaces, wet room floors and artificial sports surfaces.

Author Bio : Marie McSweeney set up McSweeney Sports Surfaces with her Husband Mike in 2003. Mike liked spending time at home with the kids, and saw for himself how the use of an artificial putting green was very similar to a real one, but was practical because the maintenance costs were so low by comparison. This inspired McSweeney Sports Surfaces to develop their indoor and outdoor sports and play surface product portfolio in Ireland and the UK. Since then the company has expanded its interest into industrial floors and wet room floors through its new sister company McResinfloors.com Contact us at 00 353 61 395786 or marie@mcsweeneysportssurfaces.ie

Some are ardent followers of these games, while a few people try to learn the techniques and form the gaming enthusiasts. For both these categories of people, it is important to have the right equipments to play the games properly, which can thereby further their interest and enthusiasm in the games. To some extent, the style of the play will also depend on the kind of sports equipments and gears that people have. While this particular factor is essential for many games, for snowboarding, there has been an increasing recognition all across the world to have better quality equipments with variations suited for different levels of players.

* Choices for snowboards depends on the terrain on which sporting

Manufacturers of snowboards are now going all out to woo enthusiasts of this game to try out various techniques of snowboarding by providing them with options in terms of materials and sizes of the boards. With these boards, people can easily undertake different manoeuvres apart from those in the snow. These shapes and sizes are designed to provide people with a wide range of choices in their movements, with some people using these boards to show off their dangerous stunts on urban locations. For these steps to be successfully executed, a lot depends on the materials used in the snowboards. For the hilly snowy terrains, the all mountain snowboard is also being fine-tuned to allow comfort and stability. This being the original style of designs, many manufacturers are combining features of freestyle snowboards with all mountain varieties to come up with better execution of moves.


* Designs of snowboards varied with various factors on the surface and flexibility

From the wide range of options chosen by people, the freestyle snowboard is quite popular. This is a necessity to design because some snowboarders are bringing on their stunts into the cities, doing various steps in the stairs, pipes, parks and various other urban locations. In freestyle snowboards, the soft flexible materials are used to build the board and they are shorter in width, with equal designs on both the edges. So, under the freestyle categories, there are further divisions like park jibs, freeride, powder, racing and so on. Some manufacturers design the freestyle snowboards with a mix of the freeride and urban snowboards, so that the all mountain snowboard is designed for the best approach towards the game.

* Choices many but from good and well established makers

With the wide range of snowboards available in the market, it is a convenience for enthusiasts of this game to find some suitable boards and then start off with their games. For learners, the more stable and wider varieties are to be preferred, but the smaller and flexible boards are required to be used by those seeking to do stunts in the game. Freestyle snowboard or all mountain snowboard, anything that people choose, should be checked for quality and ensured that these are manufactured by the best people in the business, who understand the art of snowboarding and the risks associated with it.

Oliver Smith is a fan of snowboarding and prefers a web-based all mountain snowboard shop to purchase his desired sliding stuff. He has found that DOUK is the independent manufacturer of high-quality freestyle snowboards in UK. Choose your own board style, size, base colour and top sheet design at their website.

2 Tricks to Driving Off the Deck (nalini tra)

Here are three tips to help your drive:

Shoulders on Line, Feet Shut

Shoulders square to the target, feet slightly shut. Not one person really speaks about this shot very much, but if it comes up at all you've probably been told, "If you're going to hit the driver off the deck you've got to hit a big swing. It's the only way to get the ball up."

Actually, that's not correct at all. If you have enough club head quickness there's no need to just hit a big cut. Of course you can hit a big cut if that's what you want to do. You can still strike it well, and high, and far, but you lose control of the ball and you lose length.

For this shot, you're trying to hit the ball dead straight. Maybe a slight cut if you want to, but you can actually work the ball both ways when striking the driver off the deck. Take your regular driver arrangement, with your feet a little bit shut. Line up your shoulders and club face square to the target line.

Keeping your feet slightly shut helps shallow out your path on the way back and through. That's important, because if you have a very steep path you're just going to heave that club head right down in the earth.

You need to sweep the ball, but you still have to hit down on it with the driver when you're hitting it off the deck.

Club Head Inside Shallows the Plane


There are a couple little tricks to make this shot functional. First is that you can see in the first photo below that the club face is dead square to his feet line. That's intentional. That's planned. Rather than focusing on getting it square to the shoulder plane or the target line, you want the club head a little bit inside.

Why would you want that? Squaring the club face to the feet line helps you come through the ball more shallow. If you take the club back very steep you're going to have to redirect it on the way back down.

Club face square to feet line (left), left forearm rotation, club face square to feet line (left), left forearm rotation (center, right). You want it to go back and through on a very comparable plane, so you want to take it back very shallow.

As you go back you're actually getting more revolution in your left forearm from off the ball, to get the club coming back behind your hands. You want that spin in your hands because it helps shallow out the path on the way back. As you keep going to the top you're still rotating the left forearm, getting the arm plane a little shallower than usual.

As you get closer to the top, even though you've rotated your left forearm pretty aggressively taking the club back, the club face is still square to your forearm.
