As long as our Playsafe Turf Rolls aren't damaged, they honestly wouldn't ever need to be replaced.
Was this helpful?We currently have rock on our playground. We will be able to lay this down over the rock?
We would recommend removing the rocks before installing our Playsafe Turf Rolls. The rocks would have the potential to destroy the turf rolls. To get more clarification on how to properly install our turf, we recommend watching our install video or checking out the installation tab on the product page.

Our Playsafe Turf Rolls would hold up just fine in a harsh New England winter. This roll is made from the same material that is used for NFL football fields. Cleaning up the turf is a breeze. For most debris, all you would need to is use a blower like you would with natural grass. For any spills or stuck on excrement, we would recommend using a hose.

Was this helpful?How hot does this turf get in 95 deg weather?
How hot our Playsafe Turf Rolls can get or any of our turf depends on a few factors. How hot turf can get depends on the type of infill used, how much sunlight the turf gets, and if there are any other heat magnifiers around, like windows. In tests for turf in direct sunlight with rubber infill, turf temperatures can be up to 150 degrees. That's scorching! To keep your turf temperature at a manageable level, we recommend using our Hydrochill, Durafill, or Zeolite Max infills. All of these are designed to help mitigate heat. Also, we recommend placing some shade around the turf if possible. This will help to limit the number of hours the turf is in direct sunlight. You can also hose your turf down during the hottest times of the day to keep it cool. With many of these efforts, you can greatly reduce how hot the turf gets by 30 - 50 degrees!

A scooter or bike can be ridden over our Playsafe Turf Rolls. The wheels on either will not damage the turf. The only thing that you may notice is that the wheel marks will be shown in the turf where the scooter or bike is ridden. This can be easily remedied by raking or brushing your turf.
