SUCCESS STORIES
How to keep rain off a football training pitch
OVERVIEW
Our robust membrane was used to cover the training pitch of a great football club in Amsterdam, keeping it dry on-season and off.
14,000 m2
membrane cover
234
days of rain a year in Amsterdam
Rainy training days
On average, Amsterdam has 234 days of rain a year and is an average chilly 9°C. So when an Amsterdam football club planned to build a new training facility, it asked Poly-Ned to find a durable, weather-resistant material to cover the pitch. And it had to find one fast, without disrupting team training.
Domed approach
Poly-Ned created an air dome to cover the entire pitch. To ensure the dome could withstand high winds, it chose our robust MEHGIES® VALMEX® Tent membrane, covering it with a steel cable construction anchored to the ground.

Membrane kicks goals
Since the membrane cover can be used without a support structure underneath it, the football pitch area wasn’t compromised. Also, the translucent material means little light is lost. And because our membrane doesn’t need grinding, Poly-Ned was able to build the cover quickly and easily – without affecting training.
