Shockpad Pro-x Artificial Grass Underlay with Drainage Holes

Product Information

Once you have done the measurements of what area is to be covered, you can figure out exactly how much grass is needed. It’s also important to keep in mind where the joins are going to be, if any.

Therefore, you can rest assured that installing a fake lawn underlay will ensure that your newly installed artificial lawn will provide a safe environment for all the family to enjoy. Roll out the artificial grass, and allow the grass to rest outdoors on a flat surface for 24 hours. Doing this allows it to return to its natural shape and acclimatize. If you do, then you should install padding under your artificial turf. While synthetic grass is already soft to walk on, foam pads make it luxuriously springy. And don’t worry— it won’t make your new lawn feel like fake grass and it’s easy to clean, too. If you have any artificial grass offcuts left over, you could use this time to do something useful with them.

NeoGrass 20mm artificial grass underlay is perfect for giving your artificial lawn a luxuriously soft feel underfoot, to cover unsightly undulations when installing artificial grass to an existing surface, such as concrete, or, if there is need for your application to comply with Head Impact Criterion.

Don’t attempt to glue the joints down directly to the foam, as each piece will move independently when you walk over the new lawn and this will make the joints visible. Having made the 3 key inspections above, you are now ready to start installing the artificial lawn onto the concrete! The easiest way to test the drainage of the concrete surface is to simply spray water onto the surface.

Will water be able to drain through shock pads?

Secondly, while our Feelgood technology is great at keeping your lawn cool during the summer months, if your artificial grass does not have this innovative technology, it can become hot to touch during summer. Note that deeper or bigger puddles may be a sign that the ground is uneven. In such cases, it would be wise to remove the concrete and proceed with a standard installation from soil instead. Step 4: Install The Foam Underlay This will also prevent injuries. A good underlay should drain well so that no moisture or pet urine is trapped in the lawn. Lay your new artificial grass over the top and trim to fit. Use galvanised nails to fix it to the timber.

I need to try and ensure any water is clearing first. Ideally I would rather put a sub base down over the slabs if drainage continued to be a problem rather than pulling the slabs up. Budget wise that would be more cost effective than skip etc etc to take the slabs up.

How to know if you need foam pads for artificial grass?

For those with young children or those who aren’t quite as spritely as they used to be, this can be a real hazard. The drainage holes may eventually worsen if the installers use the wrong filler material, such as sand. Hire a professional and specialized company to avoid common drainage problems in your home. Conclusion on how well does artificial grass drain It is very important that you avoid gluing directly onto the underlay, as this can shift around. Instead, lay down joining tape and glue the panels onto that. Allow time to dry. Step 6: Trim the Artificial Grass, and Secure It at the Edges Before sending this message, I lifted a slab and found a hard layer which seems like a sand and cement mortar mix. I poured water in this area and it didn’t really soak away and took a long time to clear. I then used a 8mm drill bit (biggest I had) to drill a hole which would only go down as far as 60mm deep. The drill bit came out with what looked like sand on it. I poured some water in this hole and it didn’t drain well. Therefore, does this mean the idea of installing grass on top of the current slabs whilst drilling some holes for drainage won’t work? I cannot fathom removing all the slabs and preparing the sub base again due to the work and cost involved. In theory, high-quality carpet underlay can last for up to 25 years – but the older it gets, the less effective it becomes. It can harbour dust and dirt. It may start to show signs of wear and tear and can affect the overall finish of the carpet. With this in mind, it’s usually a good idea to invest in new underlay each time you replace your carpet or laminate.
