Once the seam is placed together on top of the glue, carpet
is actually nailed to the ground to assure that it stays tight to the seam .
And
follow it with a concrete screening, which is a fine concrete dust, then go over it with a compactor and, approximate the level, and you are going to end putting a
concrete screening over the top of this, give yourself at least
six to eight inches of base rock compacted, but the very next step is to bring the
rock in. An inexpensive product, here is where you are genuinely want to be an
opposite to thrifty and. You want to use a lot of this rock. It's essentially septic drain fill rock
It's. The next
step is bringing in number 57 rock, once the fill has been removed to a measured grade. That would be
about four-inch bed . That would
be laid on top of the septic drain rock and compacted as well.
Ken Simmons gives a complete overview of the
project done at the Memorial and the ultimate guide to every step of the
installation process. DrSimmons! . Dr, thank you. Florida where GST donated one of our
best products - PetGrass-85, the video has been captured at K-9 dedicated Drake and other
fallen police dogs Memorial in Greenacres.
Below is the full transcript .
The good
example of it is our Pet turf 85. Global Syn-Turf produces more than 65 diverse lines of artificial
grass, some of it needs special care during the installation and. As an installer you must pay an extra
attention to details and, designed for an perfect drainage, the backing
of this product has no stitch lines.
The goal behind this whole process is to give yourself a
fairly significant drainage system beneath the carpet so that when water is
applied to it in a extraordinary quantity, directly to the
drain system and it flows to the carpet.
And trimming, that's critical and, edging things impeccable and, as always during this process there will be a lot of
clipping. The
details make all the difference .
They need to be relocated outside of the
perimeter of where the turf is going to be laid, if there are sprinkler zones, so you don't have to dig it
physically up to get to it . You need to be very careful and identify all those
things. There is actually quite a lot to this first stage of
removing the fill that is there. Whatever
might be in the ground, electrical wires, antennas, so you must be careful because of the
sprinkler pipes, water lines, cables.
It is no falling apart
anywhere. And now we have
a Memorial Park that is absolutely dramatic, i am very impressed with Dave Maronic
and his team for providing us this turf for the Drake Memorial because it is
very special thing for us since we have a veterinary hospital. Simmons. We've had absolutely no flooding, some rain storms have come through that were quite substantial
and and, "We've been using this product for the better part of
ten months. That they have now of our park is that
it looks like an Augusta National Golf Course, and clients, the perception. "
- said Dr. There are no smell issues at all. Carpet (artificial grass) is not separating. "We have large dogs running at high speeds turning on
a dime. The turf is just made it
wonderful" .
The company that worked
for us did a fantastic job. And this is a very fundamental step because the carpet needs to be rolled
out, so the grain matches anywhere you seam it. Once you finished placing the rock and tamping it down and
doing all the prepping that needs to be done, the next step is roll out the
carpet. So the carpet is laid out in its
approximate location as the first step and trimmed to fit the location . Coastal Synthetic Turf has some technicians that were
able to make the seams completely invisible. End up with a good seam and, you can't turn the carpet
perpendicular to itself.
passed away five days later after shooting . In spite of
heroic efforts by the best veterinarians in the country, drake didn't make it
He. 18
2012, drake was shot four times on November. He was a German Shepherd retired from a force. Fallen protecting us, we are honored to be a part of the remembrance of Drake and
other police canine companions.
Do dogs deserve some form of status? Hero
Status really" . Simmons' stated: "They (police
dogs) are currently classified as equipment, - the depreciable equipment with
no value when they are retired. Dr, in the interview to local news.
It turns into a mud bath and, all of
your pets are playing in this and, gets wet with puddles from rain. Often dies from disease, very friendly and although
beautiful, where lots of dogs
are playing at the routine basis, it dies from the urine
It, if you already own a dog care facility, you know that routine turf.
To keep it from fluffing around, and the final stage is to apply sand in quantity to weigh
carpet down. And then it's brushed very
aggressively with a broom to settle into the carpet .
It will be surface, but very pervious surface
when you finished. Around any objects that might be left behind
trees, you want to take extra care to make sure the details are
done correctly on the curb edge, and the like sometimes can be in the middle of your project. And, tamped as a
wet rock and The rock should be moistened with water, once the septic drain rock is tamped down, ultimately, tamp it down and you do
the same thing, five inches of concrete screen on top and you
are going to lay this four and. And this part is
very critical . Compacting the septic drain rock as well as the concrete
screening is the critical part for this, needs to be done very carefully
and very meticulously and. You want to
cut around those trees and put some formed curb around them.
Allow
yourself access at the later date and, if you encounter something that needs to be remained in its
current position, and ultimately you can however cover it with the turf, identify it and place it in the protective box or cabin of
some sort.
Once the seams are completely finished, heavy bags of
sand are laid across a scene to make sure they are hold up together , large.
Once you are committed to the idea that you are going to
spend the money to have your natural turf replace with an fake turf, the
very first step is to take away the existing material that's in your park. And so
my, maybe even 10 inches of fill, suggestion is to take out, up to 8, and other products , so you end up
with a space that can then be packed with the drain rock, depending on the value of dogs that are going to
be playing in the park.
You are going to encounter
the places in your project that do not have linear or a hard surface upon which
to attach the turf, during the removal of the fill. That's where you need to pour a concrete curb to give
yourself that choice. existing paver or walkways that have a concrete edging can be used to
attach the turf. Probably a four-inch wide curb 6 or 8 inches deep that allows
you to tack turf to the curb , you need to replace it with a
concrete curb, but where there is nothing. If you have an existing sidewalk, it can be used nicely
Even.
To make sure the edges match up
perfectly, any place where the seam is required with the dog's turf s
really-really significant to take a time. And nailed to the ground such that when the turf is applied to the top of
the glue that would be laid on top of that will stick and create a perfectly
nice seam , large, white material is laid
down, and then a piece of double-sided.
