Silica sand is used for Artificial Grass and football pitches, beach volleyball, tennis court, tennis soccer. What is common sizes of silica sand are normally used in filling artificial grass? The sand is used for both tennis and football artificial turf and therefore 2 different granulation are used: 1. Tennis: sand 0,4-0,8 mm (should not exceed 1,00 mm in any case). 2. Football: 0,5-1,25 mm (should not exceed 1,50 mm in any case). Generally, the silica sand granulation depend on the density of the synthetic grass, when the grass is quite dense ( more than 45000 stitches) we have to use the smaller granulation ( 0,5-0,7 mm) so that the sand can be placed into the grass pile when the grass is very dense, the sand cannot be placed inside In case of lower density ( soccer around 10 000 stitches), you can easily install the bigger granulation, but never higher then 1,5 mm ( even though some companies install even bigger but it is not according to any standards or international requests). What is common sizes of silica sand are normally used in filling beach volleyball? Silica Sand for beach volley, normally here simply use the Sand from the beach on seaside (I suppose that should be the same granulation as for football synthetic grass). What is common sizes of silica sand are normally used in filling tennis court and tennis soccer? I already explained above for both soccer and tennis. How much quantity of silica sand can be filled per square meter? As said earlier, always depending on the density of the grass and its height, we install different quantities. For tennis, we install 12 kg/sqm on very dense and short grass (11 mm) and for less dense tennis grass with higher pile we install sometimes 25-30 kg/sqm. For soccer, the things are more clear, we install from 18-25 kg/sqm, depends on the grass height.
