ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION TIPS STEP 1: Prepare the turf & project area surfaces • Measure the area you want to cover - take a measure of both width and depth - SURFACE MATERIALS ARE 15 FEET wide, Order materials: Some pre-cut products may be a different size MOST are 15 feet wide BY any length.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION TIPS Step 2‐Installation of Turf • SWEEP and clean the area BEFORE YOU unroll the grass & expose the grass face. Let the grass "relax" on a flat, open area. Once you relax the turf trim the EXTRA black edge off of each edge of the turf (with a razor knife or carpet cutter) so that the edges are very straight. Don't cut rows of blades unless the edges seem uneven. You may need to cut it the turf into smaller sections measure, each side - mark and cut.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION TIPS Seaming: Step 1: Set the Grain & Position Setting GRAIN - Make sure to point each section of grass in the same direction, (our diagram shows the 2 pieces set in the wrong way) Lay each section of grass down, side by side, in the way in which you want them seamed together.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION TIPS Seaming Step 2: Add Seam Fabric & Align Seam Flip the edges of your turf over, by about 12 inches and weight down to keep "open". Set an 8 inch wide piece of seam fabric from one edge of the seam to the other (you can secure the fabric down with a few nails (or spikes), to keep it from sliding. Then move each piece of grass into place, and align the edges as far apart as the GAUGE (space) of the rest of the rows, for a perfect seam.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION TIPS Option 1: Using Seam Glue Seaming Step 3 (Option 1): Secure Seam Open the two sides of grass, at the seam and fold edges back, about 12 inches, hold edges down with weight. Lay out your seam fabric - shiny side down.

One spike on each side of both ends of the seam to secure in for general use.
