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.

Soccer Fields

Ultra Base's easy-to-install, ecologically friendly system meets or exceeds safety and performance criteria demanded by the world’s top soccer organizations.  From full-size fields to five-on-five mini-pitches, we do it all.

Football Fields

With Ultra Base systems, synthetic turf football fields can be built in days...not weeks.  Plus, they drain faster, protect better and provide a surface that outperforms virtually every other surface. 

Baseball Fields

Synthetic turf baseball fields built on Ultra Base systems feel great underfoot and feature ball bounces and rolls that are just like real grass.  Plus, their excellent drainage capabilities make rainouts a thing of the past. 

Training Facilities

From golf teaching academies, soccer camps, and pro football training facilities all the way to the US Army combat training fields, Ultra Base has earned its stripes as the best training foundation on the market. 

Futsal

As the official court of United Futsal, Ultra Base Systems has revolutionized the sport of futsal by allowing one to transform any surface into a playable, professional futsal court.

Turf Conversions

If you are a facility manager looking for new revenue streams, or just looking to covert your turf field into deck hockey, basketball, futsal or virtually any other court activity, then check out the Ultra Base way.

While it may not seem natural to think that using plastic panels instead of crushed rock or concrete would be environmentally friendly, when you consider all of the pollution creating activities involved using these materials, the evidence is very telling.

  • Made from recycled plastics
  • Requires significantly less material distribution (fewer dump trucks)

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.

Professional Panel

The Professional panel is a taller and "beefier" version of the Champion panel featuring the same envelope style locking system.  It is ideal for heavy duty applications requiring additional support, an ultra flat surface or enhanced drainage.   

MAX

Ultra Base MAX combines the structural stability and drainage characteristics of our proven panels with a state-of-the-art, shock absorbing membrane that provide an added layer of safety and comfort.
