    Namgrass Installation

    Installation Step 1 - Calculating Grass required

    Before starting work you need to calculate how much artificial grass you will require.  Carefully measure the overall length and width of the planned turfed area. Always allow for the widest part of the lawn.

    Namgrass artificial grass is supplied from 2 metre or 4 metre wide rolls.  For a garden area of 5.2 metre wide and 6 metre long you would need 2 rolls: 4m x 6m and 2m x 6m.  You would then cut back from the 4 metre (possibly 2 metre) roll to achieve you 5.2 metre width.
