PUT YOUR LAWNMOWER OUT TO GRASS

How to make joins

Joins are made by sticking the underside of the artificial grass to a special seaming tape by means of polyurethane adhesive. The edges to be joined are laid carefully together (fig 1) to ensure that everything fits as it should. The edges are then folded back and the seaming tape laid, plastic side down, centrally along the joint (fig 2). Adhesive is applied from a cartridge gun to the top surface of the seaming tape, two "worms" of adhesive being applied to each side of the join, one close to the point where the carpet will meet and the other about 1/2 way between the join and the edge of the tape.

The carpet is now folded back and pressed down to spread the adhesive (fig 3). The strength of the join will be improved if the seam can be weighted down during curing time of the adhesive. 

How do I hold it in position?

If installed on a hard surface artificial grass may be loose laid or spot stuck (see illustration). On an unbound surface it need only be secured at the edges. 

How do I form the edges?

 1. By butting against an existing wall.

2. By fixing to an edge board -tanalised timber 100mm x 25mm located by wooden pegs 50mm x 50mm x 300mm is ideal.

3. By placing the edge of the grass under paving stones of fence. 

4. by burying or hiding the grass edge under adjacent surface.
