Pedestal Turf Decking Artificial Grass

Pedestal Turf Decking Artificial Grass

In general, artificial grass height:

Short pile: 15-25mm; Some artificial grasses can be thinner than 15 millimeters.

Medium pile : 25 ~ 35mm.

Long pile: over 35 mm.

If you want to hide any gaps, choose artificial grass that is at least 30mm thick. Alternatively, you can install plywood on the deck to solve any gaps.

Some cushioning layers, such as felt padding, that are normally installed under artificial turf can also help reduce the visibility of any gaps.

Laying artificial grass on a deck is similar to laying artificial grass on concrete. The process is straightforward.

Another thing you must consider before laying artificial grass is drainage. Many DIY ignore this because drainage is not an issue -- at least in theory.

The deck has a void for drainage. Artificial grass is water permeable. So, do you really need to worry about drainage?

The answer is yes and no. If the deck is sloped, any water will be lost and you don't have to worry about drainage. But if the surface is completely flat, puddles form where the artificial grass joins. That's because the rows of artificial grass are held together with a binder, which prevents water from flowing through the material.
