Replacing Mass with Science
As a sub base system for athletic fields, Ultra Base Panels excel for their ability to function as both a foundation and drainage system. They allow organizations to build synthetic turf field in days instead of weeks or months and add a level of advanced performance and safety that the players love.
We had a great experience using the Ultra Base System. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the product was delivered correctly and on time. We found the Ultrac Base System easy to install and the final outcome flawless. We would highly recommend this product and will be using it again in the future.

Ultra Base Panels
Ultra Base panels are designed for a variety of applications with features and benefits to match.
Champion Panel
Our most popular panel for lawn, landscape and athletic field applications. Its envelope style interlocking system provides a monolithic surface that adjusts to the natural characteristics of the land while providing both structural support and drainage.
