More about slagplanken
Slagplanken are widely used along hockey fields to protect fencing against hard hockey balls. By placing the slagplank on the underside of the fencing, strong and durable protection is created around the field. This helps limit damage to the fencing and contributes to a neat field finish.
W&H supplies slagplanken for sports clubs, municipalities, contractors and operators of sports facilities. The planks are suitable for new builds, renovations and replacement around hockey fields and other sports locations.
A slagplank must be able to withstand intensive use. Hockey balls can hit the perimeter at high speed, making a sturdy and reliable solution important. That is why the slagplanken are impact-resistant and break-resistant.
Thanks to these properties, the planks are suitable for sports environments where daily training and play take place. They provide protection, ensure a clean edge finish and help extend the service life of the fencing.
The slagplank is made from recycled plastic, namely LDPE. This material is strong, low-maintenance and suitable for long-term outdoor use. The plank has an extremely long service life of more than 40 years.
By choosing recycled plastic, a practical sports field solution is combined with a conscious material choice. This makes the slagplank suitable for facilities where sustainability and service life are important starting points.
Temperature differences can affect plastic materials. That is why the slagplank is provided with steel reinforcement, type S8. This reinforcement helps limit deformation due to expansion and contraction.
As a result, the plank stays in better shape and is suitable for use in outdoor environments where temperature differences throughout the year can be significant.
In addition to protection, the slagplank also has noise-reducing properties. This is especially relevant at hockey fields, where balls are regularly hit against the edge or the fencing.
By using slagplanken, noise nuisance around the field can be limited. This contributes to a more pleasant sports environment for players, visitors and the immediate surroundings of the facility.
The ends of the slagplanken are fitted with a pen-hole connection. This allows the planks to connect neatly to each other, creating a tight continuous line along the field.
A good connection is important for the appearance, performance and durability of the field finish. W&H can help think about the right application and installation around the sports field.
