Is it flammable?
No, the Playsafe Turf Rolls are not flammable.
Was this helpful?Can the turf be installed over pea gravel? Is it soft or scratchy? I have a few children with sensory issues.
We do not recommend installing our Playsafe Turf Rolls over pea gravel. They work best with crushed concrete or dirt. Alternatively, you could use our Outdoor Sports Tiles over pea gravel and then install our Playsafe Turf Rolls on top of them.
Was this helpful?How wide and long are the rolls and will they piece together?
Our Playsafe Turf Rolls are 15' wide and can be ordered however long you like up to 100'. To seam the turf rolls together, you have a few different options. You can either use our turf seam tape, nails, or staples to seam our artificial grass together.
Was this helpful?Is it durable for my backyard where I pull my car in about once a day? Also, does it hold up with the padding as well?
You can drive a car over our Playsafe Turf Rolls. The turf will be able to handle any normal driving, but if you were to peel out on the turf, you will damage it. This would be the case with both turf with and without a pad.
Was this helpful?How quickly does it dry after a rain? I've heard that such mats take a long time to dry therefore making it very slippery.
The drainage rate for our Playsafe Turf Rolls is 30+ inches per hour which is better than natural grass when installed over the proper crushed granite substrate. So when it rains, our artificial grass will be dry fairly quickly.
Was this helpful?Can this be installed over grass in a yard - does anything need to be done first? Will it hold up with two Great Danes running around?
Our Playsafe Turf Rolls can be installed over grass, but we don't recommend it. The reason we don't recommend it for a permanent install is that you won't be able to properly seam it so that it looks more like natural grass. You can place the turf over grass for a temporary surface or at as a potty pad, but we don't recommend it for a permanent install. We recommend following our install instructions for the proper bases for our artificial grass products. Our Playsafe Turf Rolls are great for dogs of all sizes and are a commercially rated turf made for high traffic areas.
Was this helpful?Can this turf be used on slopes?
You can install our Playsafe Turf Rolls on a slope. You would just follow the same instructions as you would if you were working on a flat surface. You will just want to make sure that the subsurface is flat and compacted.
Was this helpful?i will only have one seam that will be about 7' long. do you have a smaller seam kit that can be purchased or is there another product that i can buy at a hardware type store that will work just as well?
To seam our Playsafe Turf Rolls, you have a few choices. You can use our Seam Tape and Turf Adhesive Kit, Staples, or Nails. For most installations, Staple or Nails are typically used. For a small area, we would recommend using Staples. The Seam Tap and Turf Adhesive Kit is usually applied when a PlayPad is being used.
Was this helpful?Will the turf hold up putting a swimming pool on it during the summer?
You can install a swimming pool over our Playsafe Turf Rolls without damaging it. Once the pool has been removed, the only thing you will need to do is brush the turf blades back into a standing position. This can be done with the use of a push broom and some elbow grease.
Was this helpful?Can this turf be placed over real grass?
We recommend installing our turf on a flat hard surface like crushed granite, concrete or asphalt. We have had customers install our Playsafe Turf Rolls over grass for both permanent and temporary purposes with success. You would just want to follow our installation instructions to make sure that the turf performs properly.
Was this helpful?Can this be placed on top of dirt in a back yard where a pool would go on top of.
We recommend installing our Playsafe Turf Rolls over compacted crushed granite, but our turf rolls have been installed over dirt with success. You would still follow the same installation instructions as you would with a standard install.
Was this helpful?Is this turf soft for toddlers to play/sit on ? Does is drain rain/snow easily and how ? How to clean it from (animal urine...)? Can we install it on wooden deck and how ? Do you do installation ?
Our Playsafe Turf Rolls are soft enough for a toddler to play and sit on. This turf roll has been made both durability and comfort. Our outdoor turf features small drainage holes that allow water and other liquids to pass through the turf to the subsurface below. Cleaning our turf is very easy. For large dirt and debris, you can pick up or rake the material off the turf. For stuck on dirt and debris, you can hose off the turf to get it clean. We do offer a wide range of products that can be used to clean our turf after pet accidents. Please check out our turf accessories area to see all the offerings we offer. You can install our turf on a wooden deck. You can either lose lay the turf over the deck or tape/glue it to the deck. We recommend just lose laying it on your deck so you can properly clean under it. We don't do installation, but you can find qualified installers in your area through Angie's List, Home Advisor, or Google. Also, our turf is very to install and we offer a video that helps with it. If you have further questions about how to install our turf, please feel free to reach out to one of Flooring Heroes via phone, chat, or email.
Was this helpful?Is it non-toxic?
Our Playsafe Turf Rolls are non-toxic and are free of any heavy metals or hazardous chemicals. For an MSDS, please feel free to reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes via chat, phone, or email and they will be more than happy to provide you with it.
Was this helpful?Is the infill (the silica sand, I'm assuming) necessary when installing on cement, and is it child safe?
When installing our Playsafe Turf Rolls, you don't have to install it with infill. We recommend infill because it helps to keep the blades of the grass standing up and also helps to keep the turf looking more like natural grass. Silica sand is safe for children, but when installed properly will be very tough for a child actually to reach and eat.
Was this helpful?Would this be hot to the touch (like plastic gets) in the sun? For example, would it burn little bare feet in the summer?
The turf will get warmer than natural grass in direct sunlight but can be cooled with the use of a hose. We also have a product Hydrochill that will help to keep your turf cool even in direct sunlight with the use of some water.
