What is the difference between the Pet Turf and the Bow Wow Turf? Thank you.
The main differences between our Pet Turf and Bow Wow Turf Rolls are the widths of the rolls and the face weight. Our Pet Turf has a few more width options to choose from, helping to make a large or small job easy to install. Our Bow Wow Roll only comes in one size. Our Bow Wow artificial grass rolls face weight is a little less than our Pet Turfs, but both will perform very well for any applications where pets will be on the turf. Outside of those two major differences, they both perform just as well in any installation.
Was this helpful?I live in a very hot area where temperatures above 100 degrees F are not uncommon during the summer. Does the grass get hot?
Our Pet Turf Rolls and all turf will get hot in direct sunlight. To help mitigate this, we recommend using infills that will help to cool the turf. Popular infills that accomplish this are our Durafill, Hydrochill, and Zeolite Max infills. Hydrochill and Zeolite Max help to keep your turf the coolest in direct sunlight. Also, during the middle of the day, we recommend hosing the turf down with a little water and also try and provide shade in areas where the turf will use the most. This will help to keep the amount of heat the turf would absorb down.
Was this helpful?I have very little garden space in the backyard. Most is stamped concrete. Can I lay the artificial pet grass over the concrete if I rinse under it every week or so?
Yes, our Pet Turf Rolls can be installed over concrete.
Was this helpful?I live in hurricane territory. Will this pet turf stay in place and can I handle 30 inches of rain a day for the duration of storms?
This turf can handle the rain & the winds, however, we highly recommend nailing the turf into the ground to prevent it from moving.
Was this helpful?How long would a Kiddie/doggie pool filled with water and placed on the turf be able to sit there before the turf were damaged or permanently flattened? Also, what would be helpful to spruce up the turf blades so that the regain their pre-pool look?
It would take quite a long time for the turf to get damaged, this isn't a regular occurring. You may simply use a turf rake to raise the blades once flattened.
Was this helpful?Do you provide custom installation?
Please call us directly and we can help you connect with local installers in your area.
Was this helpful?We are on the upper floor in a condo complex. Is there one of your products we could use over our concrete deck? If so how would it be installed or would we just lay it down? Thanks
You may simply lay these turf rolls down on the deck or you may use a double-sided tape on the perimeter and then attach it to the deck. However, please ensure that the deck has room for drainage since these rolls have perforations and will allow water to pass through them.
Was this helpful?I've already laid down around my putting green your Daytona turf. I like the look so much I was thinking about doing the rest of my back yard. However, I do have two golden retrievers. Would it be a good looking transition to the rest of the back yard to the Pet Turf rolls or should I stick with the Daytona?
The Daytona turf works great for pets as well, so you could definitely go with it! However, if you still want to consider buying the Pet Turf Rolls instead, we'd recommend you get a sample first to match it with the Daytona just to be sure.
Was this helpful?We are thinking of fencing in an area in our backyard to hopefully keep puppy away from growing mushrooms. If we would install this would it prevent mushroom growth?
You could place our weed barrier underneath and install the turf on top of it. The weed barrier will prevent anything (like weed/grass) from growing into the turf. However, you may want to consider a certain chemical treatment to get rid of the mushrooms permanently.
Was this helpful?what is the turf length
Turf length is custom, so you can choose the length you want.
Was this helpful?how difficult to cut and shape to odd areas such as triangles? How to attach adjoining sections of carpet?
Our Pet Turf Rolls are super easy to cut! Just use some sharp scissors or a utility knife. To attach the sections, you may simply use a double-sided tape or our seam tape or turf staples.
Was this helpful?Can you use a shop vac for rain and dirt? Considering putting in central atrium with drainage issues.
Our Pet Turf Rolls provide superior drainage and come with perforations in the back so water will pass through them easily. We'd recommend using a rake or a blower over the turf versus the vacuum cleaner.
Was this helpful?I have a area of 16 ft long and 4 ft wide on my side lawn that I want to cover with the Pet Turf Rolls. What would be the price and is this something i could do myself?
Please use our flooring calculator to calculate, or call us directly for a quote. Yes, you may self-install Pet Turf Rolls, please see our step by step installation instructions on the product page.
Was this helpful?I am wondering about the seams. In many of the pictures from customers it seems that the seams are obvious. Will this diminish with time, or is it something that can be avoided with proper installation? I have a large area I'd like to put turf in.
Avoiding seams or at least making them not look too obvious is possible with proper installation. There are many youtube videos that can help you achieve this. We do offer accessories that you will need for this, please see our turf staples, turf nails and seam tape here https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/turf-accessories.html

Was this helpful?I need the turf for an area behind my pavers up to the fence. It is a triangle area, with a curve. Can the turf be cut to fit. Thanks
The Pet Turf Rolls can be cut manually using heavy scissors or an industrial cutter. You may measure the area and cut as needed. Or you may buy the Pet Turf Rugs that are pre-cut in smaller sizes and then cut them as per your need.
Was this helpful?I'm considering pet turf as a surface for a sloping dog ramp which will be exposed to rain and snow. Is the turf slippery, or does it become slippery when wet?
Our Pet Turf Rolls will be a little slick but no more slippery than wet grass. Our Pet Turf Rolls can drain rain at approximately 30+ inches of rain per hour per square yard. Our Pet Turf Rolls work great in all types of weather and have been installed all over the U.S and Canada. So our Pet Turf will work great in snow.
Was this helpful?Does it contain lead?
Our Pet Turf Rolls have been tested and do not contain lead. If you would like the testing report, please reach out to us via chat, phone or email and we can provide you a copy.
Was this helpful?Can this turf be placed over compacted gravel? Or should I install 4" of compacted road base? I can imagine that it might be hard to install 6" nails into the compacted gravel. would I run into other problems? What about installing it over sand. Sand compacts to 100%. But will the turf stay in place over the sand?
We recommend installing our Pet Turf Rolls over compacted crushed granite. We recommend this due to the great drainage properties this material has versus others. You can install our Pet Turf over any hard flat surface such as compacted gravel. You would still want to follow the recommended install steps for securing and ensuring that your turf lasts for years to come.
