Precision is paramount when laying out field lines—it determines both the playability of the field and its compliance with FIFA regulations.

12. – Establish Reference Points: Identify key positions such as the centers of the two penalty arcs and the midfield line.
13. – Calculate Intersections: Use the Pythagorean theorem to pinpoint where the halfway line intersects the touchlines.
14. – Pre-Marking: Lightly outline boundary lines and circle perimeters using chalk or biodegradable paint.

With these reference points established, installers can accurately position all field lines and touchlines. Precise marking ensures that turf seams and final field layouts align perfectly during installation.

Positioning & Turf Roll Placement

With the field outlined, the artificial turf rolls are placed around the perimeter according to a predetermined layout plan. It’s important that all turf rolls are oriented in the same direction, which is indicated by arrows on the packaging. Misaligned fibers can lead to visible color inconsistencies on the pitch—an aesthetic and functional flaw that must be avoided.

This step emphasizes the need for a professional artificial turf manufacturer that provides well-labeled, directionally consistent products tailored for football field installations.
