1) Preparing the support surface
Make sure that the surface is dry, clean and even.
- Hard surfaces (bitumen, concrete, wood, terraces)
Remove all rubbish and dust.
Fill any holes.
- Loose ground (soil) : Remove any vegetation and leave a smooth, permeable, stable surface.
Gardens: You could, but it is not absolutely necessary, put a 2cm to 5cm layer of clayey sand (not supplied) to give a dense, smooth quite permeable surface as subgrade.
Sports grounds: Synthetic lawns must be prepared and laid by professionals.
2) Laying the turf
- Small areas
Completely unroll. Take care to fix the edges well by placing something heavy on them (e.g. flower boxes)
- Large areas
Use the fitting kits available under the site’s accessories heading, according to the number of rolls to be fitted.
Insert the 30cm-wide tape between two rolls, spread adhesive on the tape and the grass support surface, fit the rolls together making sure that the synthetic grass does not come into contact with the adhesive. Do not work in wet weather and in temperatures under 12°C.
3) Turf maintenance
Remove dead leaves with a rake.
Periodically brush the turf with a stiff brush so that the turf remains upright.
Remove weeds as soon as they appear. |
