How do these interlock? Do you need anything additional to lock them together?
The interlocking of our Play Pad 5 is very easy. The interlocking pattern of this underpad is a brick pattern. The middle notch is large enough to interlock the top or bottom or two other Play Pads. No glue or tape is used to keep them in place. Once you have achieved your desired size, you would just cut the pads to fit.
Was this helpful?For an outdoor application under artificial grass, how do you recommend securing them to a decomposed granite base? Also, how do you secure the artificial grass to the play pad and the decomposed granite? Nails, adhesive, other options??
When installing the Play Pad 5 you will want to place the padding into the crushed granite, but you don't want to bury it. This will keep the Play Pads in place. Once you have them in place, you will then place the turf on top of the play pad using our turf seam tape and adhesive. This will provide the best hold. For the rest of your turf install you will just follow the install instructions that we provide using nails on the periphery of your turf install and staples or seaming tape and adhesive at the seams.

Area is much larger than any of your golf mats. Any other padding you can suggest for an outdoor golf hitting turf area that is about 8ft x 10ft?
Play Pad 5 is a popular product and would work well under the turf. We also carry a Lawn Pad that comes in different thicknesses, which would work as well.
