Snow Grass - not just for Christmas

These days most manufacturers of artificial grass will offer the chance to buy snow grass. Basically white grass designed to look like snow.

Theatrical use. Year round requirement for stage sets

Retail use. It isn't practical to have real snow in a warm shopping centre and with Christmas being one of the busiest times of the year for a retailer they don't like to leave anything to chance. Out comes the snow grass for the displays.

Nativity celebrations. Whether for a church or a school snow grass is always in demand.

How slippery is that surface?

If you ever want to look at installing artificial grass onto a surface which might become slippery then the health and safety people have a special device to measure exactly how dangerous it might be.

Your heel is the mostly the first point of contact with the decking and if there is water here then it can form a thin layer underfoot and it is this which causes the falls. To measure this you perform what is called the pendulum test. This mimics a foot striking the surface and can be adapted to show a bafre foot or even one with a shoe.

Images of the pendulum tester:-

Artificial grass on concrete

Instructions for installing artificial grass onto concrete

1. Clear the surfaces of all dust and debris.

2. Check that there is a small slope to facilitate drainage. If not consider drilling drainage holes.

3. Sometimes it is worth adding an underlay to cover cracks and uneven lay.

4.Apply the appropriate adhesive.

5. Sand filled lawn should only need glue around the edges.

6.Roll over the glued surface to ensure properly bonded and leave for at least half a day.

References. Laying onto a permanent base.
