Campsite Grass Installation

How Our Certified Gecko Installers lay synthetic campsite grass

The perfect solution to worn campsite areas. Achieve an attractive method of creating specific site boundaries without the need for watering.

Step One:
We excavate the site to 100mm deep with a slight angle from the centre to each edge, allowing for drainage. The size of the excavated are varies depending on the size of the mat. Some excess dirt is retained to backfill (step 3b)

Step Two :
a) A timber frame is constructed by joining the four pieces with screws

b) The frame is laid within the excavated area and checked to ensure that it is square.

Step Three :
a) The frame is secured to the excavated surface by hammering the 300mm anchors through the holes provided

b) The gaps surrounding the frame are firmly filled with the soil retained from step 1 so that the frame is securely in place.

Step Four :
a) Crushed rock is placed within the borders of the frame and spread evenly. This is compacted with a whacker.

b) An additional 5mm of crusher dust is added and compacted with the whacker, level with the bottom section of the frame. See cross section (4c).

Final Steps:
a) The grass is trimmed to the correct size of the area.

b) The grass is fixed in position by nailing it to the frame using 20mm clouts at 300mm intervals.

c) The area is finished by spreading 15mm of silica sand in-fill evenly through the grass. The sand is brushed in with a hard bristled broom until it is no longer visible.
