Can artificial turf be safely installed on rooftops?

Yes, artificial turf can be safely installed on rooftops when proper structural considerations are evaluated, including weight capacity, drainage systems, and appropriate underlayment materials designed for rooftop applications.

How does SportsGrass Arena perform in elevated outdoor environments?

SportsGrass Arena is engineered to withstand various weather conditions and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for rooftop installations where exposure to wind, sun, and precipitation is increased compared to ground-level applications.

What maintenance is required for rooftop artificial turf installations?

Rooftop artificial turf requires minimal maintenance, including periodic brushing to maintain fiber orientation, debris removal, and ensuring drainage systems remain clear to prevent water accumulation.

Can custom logos be integrated into sports turf installations?

Yes, custom logos and designs can be seamlessly integrated into sports turf installations through precision cutting and fitting techniques that maintain the structural integrity and performance characteristics of the playing surface.

What are the weight considerations for rooftop turf installations?

Rooftop turf installations require structural engineering assessment to ensure the building can support the combined weight of the turf system, infill materials, and anticipated usage loads while maintaining safety standards.

Notre Dame Rooftop SportsGrass Installation

Project Overview

ForeverLawn of Northeast Indiana successfully completed an innovative 690 square foot SportsGrass Arena installation on a 4th story rooftop balcony near Notre Dame campus. This unique project transformed an underutilized rooftop space into a functional sports area featuring the iconic Notre Dame logo prominently displayed in the center of the artificial turf. The installation demonstrates how creative use of vertical space can provide recreational opportunities in urban environments while showcasing school spirit.

Our Approach

The installation required specialized techniques for rooftop applications, including proper drainage considerations and weight distribution across the balcony structure. Our team utilized high-performance SportsGrass Arena turf specifically designed for athletic activities, ensuring optimal durability and performance in an elevated outdoor environment. The project involved precise measurements and custom logo integration, showcasing our expertise in artificial grass for sports applications. Our experience serving the South Bend, Indiana area enabled us to navigate local building requirements and weather considerations effectively.

Key Highlights

The centerpiece Notre Dame logo creates a striking visual impact while maintaining the functional integrity of the sports surface. The SportsGrass Arena system provides excellent traction and performance characteristics suitable for various athletic activities on this elevated platform. The installation maximizes the available 690 square feet of space, creating a premium recreational area that withstands weather exposure typical of Indiana’s climate. This project exemplifies innovative space utilization while delivering professional-grade athletic surfacing in a unique rooftop setting.
