MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) is a versatile sports facility that can accommodate a variety of activities including football, tennis, netball, and other recreational sports. MUGAs are designed to provide a space where multiple sports can be played simultaneously or on different days. The construction of a MUGA requires attention to specific factors, such as surface materials, drainage, dimensions, and safety.
Whether it’s a renovation or the seed of an idea for a new facility, delivering elite quality sports surfaces is what we do, day in and day out.
We are known for our exceptional builds and work alongside high-level clubs through to grassroots and community facilities. As part of STRI Group, we have years of experience in constructing, maintaining and advising on optimising playing surfaces to the highest standard.
We can work with you from the beginning of your project to help plan and advise on effective delivery, with the support of our in-house team at STRI Group.
Build a high-quality, durable MUGA that will provide a safe, flexible, and enjoyable space for multiple sports and activities.
Choose a suitable, level area with adequate space for your chosen sports.
We will excavate the site to clear debris, vegetation, and other obstacles. The surface is then levelled, compacted, and prepared for base material.
The dimensions of a MUGA will vary depending on the intended sports, but a standard MUGA is typically around 20m x 40m. It can be adjusted based on available space and specific sports requirements.
Our design team can help plan the layout to accommodate multiple sports to ensure all are catered for and assist with outlining the markings for each of the sports.
We can also design and install irrigation and attenuation systems tailored to your pitch. Our team of specialists have years of experience in water management, and Group company the Environmental Protection Group has water engineers specialising in SuDS designs and hydraulic calculations. This means no matter how niche the challenge – we have the people to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions.
The foundation of a MUGA is vital for longevity and performance. To start, our construction team will create a sub-base which typically consists of crushed stone or gravel. Next, a base layer is laid which is placed on top of the sub-base to create a level and stable surface.
Finally, we will compact the layers which ensures a durable foundation.
Our team are experts in installing a variety of surfaces including tarmac or asphalt, natural, hybrid or artificial turf and rubber flooring for MUGAs. Markings will be applied to the surfaces for the sports which are weather resistant and precise.
We can provide a 12-month strategy and maintenance team following the completion of the project. We will ensure the surfaces are withstanding any seasonal wear and tear, all year round. We can provide training for grounds teams to enable you to continue the maintenance strategy long after we have left. Being part of STRI Group, we have on hand expert agronomists who will be able to provide support and guidance on any turf related questions.
