Indoor football pitch construction is a multi-phase building process that requires engineering expertise, careful planning, and the right material selection. Our company has successfully managed this process for many years, completing hundreds of projects on time and to the highest standards. Below, you can find the full details of the indoor football pitch construction process.
Indoor Football Pitch Construction Phases
The construction of an indoor football pitch is carried out in the following five main phases:
1. Groundwork Preparation
A solid foundation is the most critical element for a long-lasting indoor football pitch. The following steps are involved in this stage:
Strip foundations are poured to create a shock-resistant substructure.
Crushed stone (gravel) is laid and compacted to level the ground.
Drainage systems are fully installed.
Advantage: Synthetic turf sits more securely on a well-leveled surface, providing players with a safer and more enjoyable playing environment.
2. Steel Structure Installation
The main load-bearing system of the indoor pitch is the steel framework, which is designed and assembled according to engineering standards.
Produced with double truss or alternative structural systems.
Fencing, pitch netting, and PVC cladding are completed during this phase.
Structural engineering projects are prepared by our expert engineers and precisely implemented on site.
Note: Cutting corners on steel weight is a common issue in low-price offers. We always use materials that comply with engineering standards in both weight and quality.

3. Membrane Covering and Installation
The roof membrane that covers the pitch is tensioned using specialised techniques. The membranes we use are:
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Fabric Quality | 1100 Denier |
| Weight | 650 gr/m² |
| UV Resistance | Resistant to sunlight |
| Colour Stability | 2–3 year no-fade guarantee |
Important: Low-quality and thin membranes tend to fade and tear in a short time. Our company uses only high-quality, UV-resistant membranes.
4. Synthetic Turf Installation
Synthetic turf forms the playable surface of the pitch and is one of the most crucial phases of the project.
A layer of infill and gravel is spread, followed by the turf installation.
Our most preferred models include 55 mm DuoGrass, 55 mm Advantage Grass monofilament, and other synthetic turf varieties produced in-house.
Infill granules are added and brushing is completed by our expert teams.
Performance Effect: High-quality turf enhances playing comfort and reduces surface wear.
5. Lighting System Installation
Proper lighting is essential for evening sessions in indoor football pitches. At this stage:
Energy-saving LED floodlights are installed.
Instead of 1000W, 600W LED floodlight systems can also be used.
Floodlights are positioned to ensure unobstructed and optimal light distribution.
Energy Efficiency: LED systems can reduce operational costs by up to 50%.
What to Consider Before Starting Indoor Football Pitch Construction?
Before beginning construction, a soil survey should be conducted and the suitability of the area verified by experts. The following steps should be followed:
Ground Suitability: Evaluate the flatness, slope, and soil structure of the land.
Project Planning: Clearly define the start and end dates and create a detailed work plan.
Contractor Selection: Working with an experienced company with strong references is crucial to ensuring a reliable outcome.
Indoor Football Pitch Maintenance & Long-Term Advice
Upon completion of our indoor football pitch projects, we also provide post-installation maintenance support. Our key maintenance recommendations include:
Steel Structure Maintenance
Repainting is recommended every 10 years.
Membranes should be replaced if significantly worn or damaged.
Synthetic Turf Maintenance
Weekly brushing should be carried out.
Irrigation and granule top-ups should be done when necessary.
