Embarking on a DIY journey to install your own artificial grass? One of the key skills you’ll need to master is correctly joining the grass sections. This step is vital for achieving a seamless and professional-looking lawn. Our comprehensive guide is tailored to help you navigate through this crucial part of the installation.
With our expert tips and detailed instructions, you’ll learn how to join artificial grass flawlessly, ensuring your DIY project results in a beautiful, uniform lawn that looks professionally installed.
Step 1: Unroll into Position
Lay your artificial grass rolls side by side and gently unroll them. Crucially, ensure that the grass pile direction faces towards the main viewpoint, creating a natural-looking appearance. Once unrolled, fold back the joining edges about 30 cm to prepare for the next step.
Step 2: Precise Cutting
Achieving a perfect seam starts here. Keep the spacing between each bead consistent. Begin with the first piece, cutting close to the bead without leaving any space. On the second piece, cut similarly but maintain the beading space. This precision will pay off in the final look.
Step 3: Aligning the Grass
Carefully align the two pieces of artificial grass, ensuring their edges meet perfectly without using glue. This dry fit is crucial for visualizing the final appearance.
Step 4: Positioning Check
Take a step back to review the positioning. If everything looks aligned and the direction of the grass is consistent, fold back the edges again to prepare for joining.
Step 5: Joining Tape and Glue Application
Lay down the joining tape along the seam. Then, evenly spread the polyurethane adhesive across the tape. Be thorough but careful – an even spread ensures a strong and invisible join.
Step 6: Final Joining
Gently work along the seam, pressing the two pieces together onto the adhesive-covered tape. Apply consistent pressure to ensure a strong bond.
