Before Starting

Work out the lengths and widths you require. Lay out the area where to install the artificial grass.

Ground Preparation for gardens

• Remove all vegetation and rocks, down to the bare earth (pic.1) (pic.2)
• A sub base of sand is installed. This base should be porous.
• Spread, level and compact the sub base with a hand roller or vibrating plate (pic.3).
• During dry conditions wet the sub base a day before the installation ( pic.4).
• Nail a geo-textile weed barrier to the base (pic.5)

Ground Preparation on existing hard surfaces

• Remove surface imperfections
• Thoroughly clean to remove all dirt, paint, grease that will prevent good adhesion

Installation on Gardens

Cut

• The rolls are laid out. As all rolls have a directional pile, ensure that all rolls are laid out in the same direction*
• Cut carefully in the backing of the artificial grass and trim (pic.6).
• Adjacent rolls should be laid together ensuring that straight cut edges can be butted close together. Butt both surfaces together, ensuring the pile is running in the same direction (pic.7).
• The edges are then folded back (pic.8)*

Seaming tape

• The seaming tape is used to put the rolls together. Unroll the seaming tape along the seam line, ensuring equal tape laid centrally along the seam (pic.9)*
• Before applying the adhesive, fix the seaming tape to the sub base with stainless pegs.*

Adhesive

• Mix the bi-component adhesive with a mixer*
• Apply the adhesive with a spatula to the top surface of the seaming tape. (pic.10)
• The edges of the artificial grass are now folded back and pressed down. Match the directional pile of the rolls. (pic.11)*

Borders

• Fix with stainless pegs on wooden beams (treated to prevent moisture) or with stainless pegs in the sub base.

Brush

• Brush the piles. (pic.12)

Installation on existing hard surfaces

• Lay out the rolls
• Rolls can be loose laid or fixed with a spots of outdoor adhesive or with double-sided adhesive tape.
• Brush the piles.
