Artificial Turf for Dogs

Artificial Turf for Dogs

6 June 2019 /Posted bywebmaster / 1391

New from Green As Grass! Artificial turf for dogs. Find out what’s different about this particular type of artificial grass.

Banish pet odours outside with our new artificial turf

I have heard tell that artificial grass can get a bit – well – whiffy in a garden for dogs. There are 2 possible reasons for this.

First of all, the installation is crucial. There must be adequate drainage to allow the urine to soak into the soil where it can be broken down by bacteria.

Secondly, the quality of the artificial grass itself. Artificial turf comes in a wide range of qualities to sit different projects and budgets. In very general terms, it consists of many tufts of faux grass melded to a backing material – just like interior carpets. If the backing material is super-absorbent it will soak up and hold onto pet urine and that’s where the smell comes from.

If you are planning to install artificial grass in a garden for dogs, look for one of the newer products with a PU backing. It’s less absorbent and although it needs careful installation, it does have several advantages over some of the budget grades.

Why use PU coated artificial grass for dogs?

Stronger Tuft Lock

PU backing holds the tufts much more securely than a latex backed artificial grass. That means that the product is more robust, more durable and will cope better with all of those rough and tumble doggy games.

Better performance in wet conditions

Whether we’re talking about rain, snow or pee, our PU coating system is incredibly stable. Water is not absorbed by the backing and will wick away into the layers beneath the grass. Provided the turf has been properly installed, that means few soggy pitches and less of a problem with trapped pongs.

Environmental Credentials

There’s a delicate balancing act between using plastic in the garden vs the herbicides, chemical fertilisers and powered mowers needed to maintain a natural lawn. It’s for you to decide where that balance should lie in your life. However, when you choose Manhattan PU backed artificial turf you can rest assured that it is solvent free, contains no heavy metals and is perfectly safe for users..no matter what species they are.

Our artificial turf is also fully recyclable at the end of its useful life.

Aesthetics

Your dog won’t mind what the lawn looks like. I’m sure though that you would prefer a nice thick sward, with no bare patches, no mud and a beautiful appearance all year round.

PU coated artificial turf has a certain glossiness and smoothness that sets it apart from other types. It’s hard to describe it in words so why not ask for a free sample and see for yourself.

Temperature Resistance

No need to worry about brittleness or changes in texture when your PU backed artificial turf is exposed to extreme weather. Our products have been heavily tested.

That means a longer lifespan and less risk of your dog ingesting any tufts that have broken off.

For extra protection against strong sunlight, Manhattan artificial turf incorporates a UV defender so that it will not change colour in strong sunlight.

Softness

For the sake of your installer who needs to manipulate, shape and trim your artificial turf. Our PU coated backing is much more flexible than latex backing. That means that your dog’s garden can have many more interesting features to help stimulate the senses. It also means that the artificial grass is more comfy to sit or lie on.
