Shock Turf

Shock Turf is your go-to solution for high-impact workouts in both home and commercial gyms. Designed for durability, this artificial turf roll includes an attached cushion for added bounce and comfort underfoot, making it ideal for sled pushes and pulls. However, it is slightly more abrasive compared to our Shock Turf X, which may lead to discomfort during floor exercises. For added protection, especially during floor exercises, consider using a mat like our ComfortGym Mat. Shock Turf comes with a 5-year warranty, ensuring long-lasting performance and quality.

Recommended Uses – Shock Turf Rolls are perfect for both residential and commercial use. These turf rolls have been installed in multi-use gyms, as flooring for pushing and pulling sleds, as high impact turf flooring, and much more.

Installation Instructions

Outdoor Installation

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Level and Clean: Ensure the installation surface is level, clean, and dry. Suitable surfaces include concrete, asphalt, pressure-treated decking, and composite decking.

2. Turf Layout:

   • Dry Lay: Position the turf rolls to implement roll sequencing and minimize variations. Check the backing for manufacturing details to determine the fiber direction.

3. Adhesive Application:

   • Adhesive: Apply pressure-sensitive adhesive or double-sided tape to the surface. Lay the turf over the adhesive or tape.

4. Seaming:

   • Seam Sealer: Apply a bead of seam sealer to all seams.
   • Roll: Use a 75 lb. weighted roller to press the turf across its width and length.
   • Curing: Allow the installation to remain in dry conditions for 72 hours for the adhesive to cure properly.

Non-Infilled Synthetic Lawn Outdoor Installation

1. Area Preparation:

   • Remove Existing Materials: Clear all grasses, sods, mulches, etc., from the marked areas. Account for landscaping elements like trees, shrubs, and utilities, and ensure adequate space around tree bases.

2. Base Construction:

   • Compact Soil: Compact the native soil or subgrade if necessary.
   • Add Base Material: Spread crushed rock to a thickness of approximately 3 inches. Level with a landscaping rake.
   • Compact: Spray with water and use a hand tamper for compaction. Allow the area to dry and check for inconsistencies.

3. Turf Placement:

   • Roll Turf: Lay out the synthetic turf over the constructed base. If using multiple rolls, ensure fiber direction is consistent. Trim untufted edges and mat the borders.

4. Seaming and Gluing:

   • Fold and Tape: Fold adjacent turf edges 2 feet apart along the seam. Roll out seaming tape and apply adhesive with a 1/8” trowel. Center the tape and lay the turf edges onto it, ensuring no fibers are trapped. Add weight to the seams and let the adhesive cure overnight.

5. Securing Edges:

   • Stake Down: Secure the turf along the perimeter with landscape spikes every 3 feet.
   • Brush: Use a stiff-bristled broom to lift matted fibers. Sand infill is optional.

Indoor Installation

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Level and Clean: Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry. Suitable surfaces include concrete, dusting or powdering concrete, gypcrete, pressure-treated decking, wood, or backer board.

2. Turf Layout:

   • Dry Lay: Position the turf rolls to manage roll sequencing and minimize variations. Check the backing for manufacturing details to determine the fiber direction.

3. Adhesive Application:

   • Adhesive or Tape: Apply adhesive or double-sided tape to the surface. Lay the turf over the adhesive or tape.

4. Seaming:

   • Seam Sealer: Apply a bead of seam sealer to all seams.
   • Roll: Use a 75 lb. weighted roller across the width and length of the turf.

5. Curing:

   • Dry Conditions: Allow the installation to remain in dry conditions for 72 hours for the adhesive to cure properly.

Maintenance

• Outdoor Turf: Regularly brush to remove debris and clean spills promptly to maintain the turf’s appearance and performance.
• Indoor Turf: Sweep or vacuum to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris. Periodic sweeping may be necessary to keep the surface clean.

With Shock Turf, you get a robust flooring solution designed for demanding workouts.

For added safety during floor exercises, consider using a supplementary mat like the ComfortGym Mat.
