Are you worried that your artificial grass will be damaged? First of all, this is unlikely to happen, but not impossible. In the hypothetical case that this happens, there are easy solutions to repair the damaged artificial grass.
This usually happens due to poor installation, having bought poor quality grass, or some unforeseen incident.
To enjoy your artificial grass in perfect condition, keep reading the post to find out how to fix it if it happens to you.
Buy Good Quality Grass
When choosing artificial grass for your terrace or garden, it is very important that it is of very good quality, as it has much greater resistance, and therefore, lasts much longer in optimal conditions than one that does not have it.
All artificial grass models from Gardenstore have great resistance and durability. They are manufactured with the best materials and the latest technology on the market so that they always remain in perfect condition, regardless of the use that is given to them or certain external factors.
What Damages Artificial Grass?
Although artificial grass is very resistant and durable, there may be certain elements or circumstances that damage it permanently. It is recommended to avoid them to enjoy the grass in optimal conditions for as long as possible. And what do you have to avoid?:
- The fire from cigarettes and barbecues
- Chemical products such as fertilizers and insecticides
- Paint, especially oil-based paint
- Sharp objects such as gardening tools or furniture with sharp edges
These are some cases. In most cases it is easy to repair, but as they say, prevention is better than cure.
Can You Fix it Yourself?
You can fix the artificial grass yourself if you have the necessary tools to change the deteriorated part and if you have DIY knowledge.
In addition, we advise you that when you install the grass for the first time, save the leftover pieces for what may happen, as this will save you from looking for one that is as similar as possible to the model you have.
In the event that the deteriorated surface is larger, it is best to have a specialist to repair the damaged area.
At Gardenstore we have more than 15 years of experience in the sale and installation of artificial grass. Our installers can give you the solution you need in these cases and achieve the best result.
Step by Step of Artificial Grass Repair
If you want to achieve a final result that is up to par, follow the step by step that we explain below. Once you do, you will see that it seems that nothing has happened to the artificial grass.
1. Remove the damaged area
First you have to take a piece of cardboard or round lid to guide you when cutting the damaged part. You have to cut quite deep, that is, go through the sublayer and not just the fibers.
2. Cut the replacement piece of grass
Use a piece of cardboard or a lid in this step as well to guide you when cutting the replacement piece.
3. Place the seaming tape
Take a piece of seaming tape for artificial grass and put it under the sublayer, that is, in the hole you left when removing the damaged part. Then, spread the adhesive for artificial grass on the seam under the sublayer.
4. Place the new piece
Carefully place the replacement piece in its place. Press down to make sure it adheres correctly.
5. Let it dry
Try not to walk on the repaired area for a few hours to make sure the adhesive works correctly.
