I am thinking about artificial turf teepads for a Northern Disc Golf Course.
Teebox Co teepads are intriguing.

I am interested in how well they fit in to these parameters as well, as part of healthy living/ Physical Activity/ Active Living /Injury Prevention/Positive Mental Health/Healthy Aging and so forth.

Ron Rudy Falconer: what about snow and ice removal? we play year round in Calgary and we have to scrap snow and use ice melt on our concrete, will these pads handle that abuse?
The Teebox Co. : The panels when combined with the turf and liner delivers an insulation R value of 3.4 which is equivalent to 38 inches of sand and gravel or 17 inches of concrete creating a warming effect for the ground, helping to prevent frozen ground conditions. A salt/sand combination should help prevent the snow from adhering to the turf and allow removal with shovel and brooms.
"The Teebox Co.
Our turf has been proven to provide traction in most conditions. Rain, mud, snow, and ice. With proper installation and site prep mud shouldn't be an issue. Once the mud dries it can brushed with a heavy-duty floor broom, essentially additional infill. The dual-fiber fiber turf designed helps as well. Longer poly fibers form the bulk of the surface while shorter and thinner nylon fibers form the structure underneath. Larger size aggregates stay above the thatch layer, smaller ones settle and eventually rinse through.
Joe Blow: How do they perform in wet and frozen conditions?
The Teebox Co.
The Teebox Co. : Better than most. Especially when you compare it to 5+ year old concrete that hasn't been resurfaced. Tested at 175" of rain per hour. We also tested the material in 3"+ of snow and it performed better than expected. Retained grip and consistency. The system acts like an insulation barrier for the ground beneath. No frost heave and the surface area will remain warmer than the surrounding environment.
