We installed U Blade-80 in our backyard earlier this year and have been blown away by its performance. We have two large dogs that are constantly running around, and the turf still looks brand new. I was skeptical about artificial grass at first, especially with pets, but this product proved me wrong. It’s dense, springy, and doesn’t mat down under paws or foot traffic.
Cleanup is easy-waste doesn’t stick, and any smells rinse out fast. It’s also cooler under the sun than I expected, which is great during the summer. We’ve had several neighbors ask where we got it and even a few compliments from delivery people. What surprised me most is that it doesn’t shine like some other turf-very natural appearance. We’re so glad we made the switch from sod to this. The yard has become the most used space in the house now!
Technically, you can place almost anything heavy on artificial grass, normal pressures from heavy objects won’t hurt your turf while they are sitting still. Just to be aware that after a while with heavy objects on the turf surface, grass fibers will be pressed down and hard to get them up which is very normal and will happen to anything with heavy pressures on. If you are living in an extremely hot area, you will need to be careful about metal or any other high heat transferring items on your turf regardless heavy or light. I have experienced issues with metal getting scorching hot (over 200 degree F) that melted the artificial grass fibers.
Read Answer: Are there any heavy objects that shouldn't be placed on turf?
It depends on the type of artificial grass, the weight a full roll can be different. Artificial grass face weight determines the weight of a full roll, the higher of the face weight on a type of grass, the heavier of a roll will be. In general, artificial grass is bulky and heavy: they come in mostly at 15’ width and 75’ or 100’ in length, and our artificial grass face weight averaged from 35 oz to 100 oz per square yard. By that said, the roll weight of a typical full roll of turf ranges from 700 lbs to 1100 lbs. You definitely will need lifting equipment or strong manpower to handle them.

Read Answer: How heavy is a roll of turf?
The short answer is yes. Placing heavy objects on artificial grass is like placing heavy furniture on carpet, the weight of the objects won't hurt the artificial turf at all. You just need to realize that after a while, the turf will be flattened by the heavy weight. Also if you leave your objects on for years, you will see the visual difference between the covered area and the rest of your turf: the area with the objects sitting on will look much newer and fresher than the uncovered areas, again, this is very similar to the carpet. We have people putting outdoor furniture along with playground fixtures on the artificial grass surface all the time, never present any issues or problems.
Read Answer: Can you put heavy objects on artificial turf?
Yes, you can. All our turf products are designed and manufactured with great tuft bind. The term "Tuff Bind" is used in artificial grass industry to define how strong fibers are attached to its backings. On an average, our products' tuft bind is at 45 newton and above, in another word, it takes a force of 45 newton in order to pull out the fiber from its backings. Almost all of our products come with engineered fibers which present both beauty, function and durabilities, same fibers are also used in our sports fields products which will withheld the abuse of shoe cleats. At our factory, we conduct lisport testings on all fibers and most of our fibers will last more than 10,000 cycles, more than half of our fibers last more than 20,000 cycles. To give you a reference point on lisport testing cycles: most of FIFA certified sports fields will require a pass of 5,000 cycles of lisport testing.

Not necessarily. Artificial grass can be heavy but it doesn’t mean it can not be used for wall decorations. They key is how to anchor and install it onto the wall. Depends on what kind of wall you have, the way of installing the turf on the walls can be a bit different: if you have wooden wall or wall with lumber studs, you can simply nailing the turf onto the studs with a 12” nailing schedule. If you have concrete or brick wall, the installation work will be bit more difficult as you will need to use anchors and fasten the turf onto the anchors. These are just general recommendations without knowing the details of your applications such as sizes and etc..
