How You Can Join Artificial Turf

Sphere Turf Optima

 On a hard surface, lay the two rolls of turf side by side, green side up as this will help you to decide where they need to be joined. The "grain" from each roll of putting turf  needs to be going in the same direction. Once you have found the seam, flip each roll over so the black side is up. Take a utility knife  and cut between the first and second row of stitching of the turf. Be careful not to cut into the stitching.
Repeat for the second roll. Cutting between the rows will help give you a tight join for your putting green.

Flip the putting green back over so that the green is facing up. Make sure the seam fits cleanly together and is tight for the full length of the seam. Once you are satisfied with the seam, move the pieces of turf to your sub-base.

Now place  the pieces of turf together on the sub-base to form a tight seam. Place the seaming strip on the sub-base under the seam. Make sure there is an equal amount of seaming strip on each side of the seam. Spread the adhesive over the entire area of the seaming strip and allow the adhesive to set up to 5 minutes before placing the turf on the seam. Make sure the thickness of the adhesive is no more than 1/8".

Now begin to fold the pieces of turf back together. Press the seam in place as you go starting at one end and working to the other end. Apply pressure to so that you have good contact. Once the seam has been put together, walk over the joined area several times without actually walking on the seam.

You will need to allow about an hour for it to cure before you finish installing your artificial turf.

If you are using Foam Backed Turf it is recommended that you don't cut it yourself but that you take it to a professional who can cut it for you.
