Shock Turf

Artificial Grass 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.

Artificial Grass 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.
