Does the grass lose it's colour in the sun?
No, all the products are UV resistant and have undergone extensive testing to ensure that the colour does not fade over time.
What is the grass made out of?
The yarn is made out of a very high quality polyethylene (a similar substance to shopping packets), whereas the backing is made out of polypropylene fibres and a high quality latex spray.
Is Synthetic turf suitable for my pets?
Yes, our synthetic turf is used in the sports industry and is highly durable. Pets love playing and sleeping on the soft synthetic grass. The grass can easily be hosed down to get rid of unwanted odours.
What type of under surface or base do I require for synthetic grass?
There are two important factors to the under surface or base of synthetic grass. Firstly, the under base must be able to support the intended traffic of the area. Secondly the under base must supply sufficient drainage for the synthetic grass. Synsport would supply a full service in base works.
The type of base works required will vary according to which product is used and what it is used for. The required base-works can vary from just compacted soil with sufficient drainage to full g5 sub-base with cement or asphalt bases
What about drainage?
There are drainage holes in the synthetic turf which allow for water drainage through the synthetic turf. It is important to ensure that the base has sufficient drainage.
Is Artificial Grass safe for my children?
All our products are non toxic, soft and safe for children to use and enjoy.
Can I install the Synthetic Turf myself?
In certain applications it is possible to install the synthetic turf yourself; however we are not able to guarantee the installation. If it is a larger installation there is specialised glue and jointing tape required. Larger installations should be done by a professional. In some cases the synthetic grass can be cut to size and applied as a loose mat. This application is nice for balconies and indoors. We do not recommend installing the synthetic grass yourself if it is to be used for any sporting purpose.
We are able to provide a basic DIY manual for those home installations.
I have seen synthetic turf hockey fields watered; do I need to water synthetic turf if I put it in my garden?
One of the systems for synthetic turf hockey fields is known as the wet-system. This system requires water to be sprayed on to the field prior to play. This helps to speed the ball up and brings the sliding properties of the field to the correct level. However all the products used for residential installations are not wet systems and require absolutely no water.
What sort of life span should I expect from my synthetic grass?
We would guarantee the turf and installation for up to five years, but one should expect the turf to last well over 10 years, provided the facility is well managed. We have various installations that are over 10 years old and still going strong.
What sort of maintenance must be undertaken?
Although very little maintenance is required. The grass should be brushed at least twice a month and be kept relatively clean of wastage and debris. The surface should be washed down if any sort of spillage occurs on the surface.
