How to measure up for artificial grass

Simplify Measuring for Artificial Grass: Your Step-by-Step Guide

Measuring your space for artificial grass is a breeze when you follow these straightforward steps. Achieve precision and ensure a successful installation by keeping these instructions in mind.

Pro Tip: Optimal Pile Positioning

For the best results, orient the grass pile facing your house. To measure, consider the width across your garden from side to side, while the length should extend away from your house.

Step 1: Determine the Width

1.1 Measure the widest point of your area. If it’s under 2m wide, round up to a 2m width.
1.2 If it’s between 2m and 4m wide, round up to a 4m width.
1.3 For widths beyond 4m but under 6m, combine a 2m and a 4m width.
1.4 If it’s over 6m but less than 8m, use two 4m width pieces.

Step 2: Measure the Length

Measure the longest point of your space. Our grasses can be ordered in 0.1m increments, minimizing waste.

Step 3: Calculate Essential Accessories

3.1 Weed Membrane: Ensure a robust foundation by placing weed membrane beneath your lawn. Available in 4m widths and customizable lengths. Explore our options at Artificial Grass Weed Membrane.

3.2 Joining Tape: If you’re combining grass pieces, use joining tape along with artificial grass glue for a seamless finish. Joining tape comes in 1m increments, making your joins smoother. Discover more at Artificial Grass Joining Tape.

3.3 Artificial Grass Glue: For effective adhesion, one tube of glue can join approximately 3m of grass. Find our reliable glue options at Artificial Grass Glue.
