An excellent option for where permanent wickets aren’t suitable, this market-leading FORTRESS cricket matting will maintain its supreme performance levels in indoor & outdoor conditions.

What Makes Our Matting The Best On The Market?

Excellent Spin & Bounce Characteristics

We have redesigned the artificial cricket carpet to improve performance and make it feel more like playing on a natural turf wicket. The 11mm thick matting with built in foam shockpad gives the ball the correct bounce performance (not too high or too low) when rolled onto a hard flat surface. The high yarn density of 67200 tufts per square metre, enhances the mattings grip on the ball, making it perfect for spin bowling.

Strong Weatherproof Construction

The green yarn (artificial grass blades) are made from high gauge (thick) polyethene (HDPE) that is 100% rot proof and UV treated so it doesn’t degrade in the sun. The yarn compacted together and glued to the foam backing using SBR latex bonding, so it doesn’t fall apart. The yarn, backing and glue is formulated to withstand years of use.

3 Year Warranty & Lifespan Up To 10 Years

Our cricket matting is strong, robust, long lasting and 100% weatherproof. It comes with a 3 year warranty (when correctly used/maintained) and lasts up 10 years. Lifespan depends on the surface(s) its placed on, the environment it is used in, how well it is maintenance and the amount of use it gets per week.

Performance Consistency

Any competitor can say that their artificial cricket carpet will last years, but this is pointless if the performance suffers over time to create a poor playing surface. This mainly happens due to the green yarn (artificial grass blades) distorting or leaning to one direction over time creating inconsistent/irregular ball bounces and poor grip/ball spin.

Our FORTRESS Roll Down Cricket Matting has been specially manufactured with a curled yarn making it non directional. This means that the yarn on this matting will not distort or lean to one side, even after years of usage and repeated foot traffic over the surface. Our curved yarn technology ensures excellent bounce and spin performance every time.

Built In Shockpad/Underlay

This matting comes with a built in 3mm PU Foam Shockpad/Underlay that absorbs player and ball impact.

Benefits of the built-in shockpad/underlay:

• Increases the matting’s lifespan
• Helps protect the floor/surface that the matting is being placed on
• Makes it kinder on player’s joints (it reduces impact stress)
• Stops the ball bouncing too high when placed on a hard surface
• Grips most surfaces to stop the matting slipping/sliding/moving when being played on

Simple Maintenance Tips

Always roll (never fold) the matting when storing away. Folding the matting will cause creases/kinks in the matting and over time can split/crack the PU Foam backing.

If the matting is being used outdoors, then we strongly recommend storing it away indoors when not in use. Storing the matting inside prevents dirt/moss build up and prolongs its lifespan. If you do leave the matting outside permanently, it can be cleaned with cold hose pipe water and a stiff brush (do not use a pressure washer).
