How wide and long is this exactly?

How is cutting and shaping done? What tools are needed to do so? Does the cut edge fray? And do you need to treat edge to stop this and how so?
Roger
To cut our Newport Turf Rolls, all you would need is a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. When you come up to the area where you need to cut; measure where you need to make your cut and fold over the turf. You will then use the utility knife and cut the back of the turf. The edge will not fray like typical carpet. Since these fibers look like grass, you will still have the same look. To get a visual representation of how this is done, we do offer an installation video for our turf products.
How hot do Newport Turf Rolls get in the summer heat?
Carol Shall
So this question is a little loaded as the turf's heat depends on how the turf is installed, but from our testing of the turf in direct sunlight on an over 100-degree day in sunny Arizona, the turf without any infill was around 150 degrees or hotter. To help reduce how hot your turf gets, we recommend using one of the following infills: Durafill, Hydrochill, or Zeolite Max. Each of these helps keep the turf 20-30 degrees cooler, with our Hydrochill and Zeolite Max providing the best cooling effects.
Can you install over stone and can it be raked?
Anonymous
We recommend placing our Newport Turf Rolls over a smooth surface, whether that be hilly or flat. Depending on how jagged the stones are, you could potentially install the turf over the stones. You can rake the turf, but with a plastic rake, not a metal one.

How can the turf be cut in order to make curved landscaping corners? Are special tools needed, or is it difficult for the average person?
Anonymous
No special tools are needed to cut the Newport Turf Rolls around landscaping corners. To cut you will lay the full roll over the area you are trying to install the roll in and then cut the excess while leaving about a foot or so around the perimeter. You will then a cut to allow you to fold the excess over and cut the turf to fit your space with a sharp utility knife. You would repeat this process until your turf is cut into place.

Can softball cleats hurt the turf?
rick
Our Newport Turf Roll is not a high traffic rated, so we do not recommend using softball cleats on the turf. Any of our high traffic turf rolls like our Daytona or Austin Elite would be able to take softball cleat traffic with a proper install.
Can your artificial turf be used for a garage floor? How would you hold it down?
Larry
We don't recommend using our Newport Turf Rolls as a garage floor, but you could use it for that purpose. If you were to use this fake grass as garage flooring, depending on how you drive, you may see somewhere and tear where you drive in and out. To keep the blades looking more natural, we would suggest brushing them on a regular basis. Over time, it would be very difficult to get the blades to return to their natural state. To keep the turf roll in place, we would recommend using a pressure sensitive glue like our 5900 Series.
How steep of a slope can this product be installed on? I have a roadway ditch bank that is too steep to safely mow.
Anonymous
Our Newport Turf Rolls can be installed on any grade of slope. The turf is nailed in so it will stay in place no matter how steep the grade is.

Can you install over compacted pea gravel? Does it do well in snow and freezing weather?

We don't recommend using compacted pea gravel, but customers have used this with success. You would still want to follow the instructions that are provided on the Installation tab on this product page. Our turf is very resistant and has been installed all over the US and Canada. Our turf is freeze/thaw stable and can even handle the extreme heat of the US Southwest.
Can this be used over cement, for putting a golf ball?
Lawrence
You can install our Newport Turf Rolls over cement. These turf rolls can be loose laid, taped, or glued to the cement. Our Newport Turf Rolls are not the best for use as a putting surface. The fibers on this product would impede the rolling of the ball greatly. For putting, we would recommend a low pile turf. All of the products that we recommend for putting can be found on our Putting Green Turf page.
Can this be installed on a rubber-floor roof terrace? Will rainwater be able to drain underneath?

Would this be able to be used for an indoor soccer area? And can it get wet? We would install a small 200 sq ft area in our basement but it does flood up to 1" at times.
sheila
Newport Turf Rolls can be used for an indoor soccer area, however we recommend using any of our Sports Turf for this purpose since they are built to withstand heavy traffic and they also come with a drainage system that will help drain water when there is a flood. Our most popular Sports Turf product is the Performance Turf Roll. Please use this link to browse through all of our Sport Turfs. https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/turf-flooring.html#!filter=201
We would like to install on a EPDM Rubber roof. What is the best way to install?
Jennifer
The most important issues of a rooftop are drainage and ensuring the original rooftop surface is not penetrated. Most installations over a TPO overlay have a drain membrane installed between the turf and the roof surface. This ensures that the water drains properly to roof surface drains. Depending upon the layout and roof makeup, a nailer board is typically fastened around the perimeter and the turf edges are secured to that. It is weighted down using infill just as a typical landscape install would be to hold down.
can it be custom sized to go down the isle for a wedding? Maybe 3' by 60'?
