Measuring Guide

How to measure

Sometimes, even though an area may look uniform, it may in fact get wider, or narrower along its length.

In order to account for these variations, we would recommend measuring your area at multiple places along the length and the width. Take the longest measurement recorded in each case as the width of the area.

We would also recommend accounting for 0.2m overlap of grass around the edge of the area- this further accounts for any measurement inaccuries or variations in the shape of the area.

Pile Direction

It is recommended that artificial grass is laid with the pile direction pointing towards the main viewing area of the space. This isn't essential, but will provide a better finished effect when you look out on the area.

Artificial grass pile is in the same direction as the grass is rolled.

Try to minimise joins

If possible, try to use a single roll of artificial grass.

Our grass is available in multiple widths and in many cases a typical garden installation can be completed without a join.

Multiple Spans Required

If is is not possible to complete a installation without a join, try to minimise the number of joins required.

It is essential that if multiple lengths of grass are required, the pile runs in the same direction. Should the pile run in a different direction, particularly at a 90 degree angle, the join will be easily visible.

Complex Shapes

Measuring is more complicated for irregular shapes and there is no 'one size fits all' guide to measuring the area. When planning your installation you should ensure that you:

1. Minimise joins.
2. Ensure the pile direction is consistent.
3. Ideally, direct pile towards the main viewing area.
4. Try to maintain the recommended 0.2m overlap.

See the graphic for an example of how a specific shape could be achieved.
