X Alan W Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 The stuff you require for your job Is AstroTurf or a different trade name the product for campsite use in awnings Etc is not up to what you require Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyG Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) If you are essentially wanting an artificial lawn, you need to dig out the soil , fill with clinker , gravel etc, roll flat [power roller], and then lay the surface, otherwise you will end up with a B&Q fiasco. There is also matting which grass grows though, might be OK for relatvely light use on well drained soil. Or just lay a path.

'Decent' artificial grass is expensive, the cheap stuff is rubbish. For 'grass' that will last more than a year (or so) go for a 30mm or thicker & expect to pay around £20 per square metre, a 2mt x 10 metre roll is £400 and you will need 2 rolls. You can get 'green carpet' for about £4 - £5 per square metre but you will regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I'd check how slippery it is when it's wet before putting it alongside the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I've seen this stuff (no idea what make) not only wet and slippery but slimy and slippery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Did you hear about the American footballer who was asked if he preferred grass or Astroturf???? "Dunno, Never smoked Astroturf" was his reply. .............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 On the Middlewich Branch at the new disabled moorings they have laid a mesh for the grass to grow through to give a firmer surface for wheelchairs etc, its very boggy on that stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
