How is a Macadam MUGA Court Installed?
Installing a macadam MUGA court in Devon involves several key steps to ensure a high-quality playing surface.
The process begins with site preparation, which includes excavation and levelling to create a stable foundation.
A compacted stone sub-base is then installed, providing structural support before the macadam layers are applied.
The tarmacadam surface is laid in one or more layers and compacted to achieve a smooth and durable finish.
Once cured, sport-specific line markings and optional coatings are added to enhance grip and performance.
The entire process takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on weather conditions and project complexity.
