Temporary artificial grass, specified for the venue.

Short installation windows, concentrated footfall and the venue’s fire requirements.

Choose a surface and a configuration that meet all three.

What matters

What an event surface has to handle.

Events compress a surface’s whole life into a few days.

Fire requirements

The venue sets the reaction-to-fire class. Results are tested per product and configuration.

Install and lift

Time on site is short. Rolls, joins and fixing have to go down quickly and come up cleanly.

Footfall

Crowds gather at entrances, bars and stages. The surface has to cope, and keep its look.

Before you specify

Ask the questions the venue will ask.

Venues and councils ask for documents, not descriptions.

Reaction to fireThe reaction-to-fire test or classification report that exists for the product and configuration you will install, loose-laid or with infill.
Installation and removalHow the surface is laid, joined and lifted, and how long that takes.
After the eventWhat happens next: reuse, storage, or collection for recycling where a route exists.
Material testingResults of SGS testing for substances of very high concern, PAHs and the migration of elements to EN 71-3, on the products named in the report.

A fire classification applies only to the product and configuration tested.

FAQ

Questions about event surfaces

Booking a venue? Talk to us

Which fire class does an event surface need?

The venue or council sets the requirement. ONE-DNA™ fire classes are tested to the European standard EN 13501-1 and apply only to the product and configuration tested. Ask which reaction-to-fire test or classification report exists for what you will install.

Can event grass be reused?

It can be, if it is lifted, cleaned and stored with care. Whether it is fit for reuse depends on how it was used and its condition.

What happens to the surface after the event?

It can be stored for reuse. It is designed for recycling: fibre and backing are joined without a conventional latex or polyurethane coating, and each product follows one material route. Whether a surface is actually recycled depends on removal, collection and the recycling options available at the time. More on end of life →

How quickly can it be installed?

That depends on the area, access and configuration. Plan installation and removal with the supplier when you book the venue.
