Festivals and Events
Festival and event organizers purchase and use new artificial turf for just two or three days. They usually invest in high-quality synthetic grass so it can withstand heavy traffic.
Since the synthetic turf has only been in use for a few days, it maintains all the top qualities of new artificial grass. Unlike sports field turf, it doesn’t come with line markings.
Can you keep the free infill that comes with repurposed turf?
Yes, you can keep the infill that comes with used artificial turf. It allows you to save money on new infill. However, this decision comes with several downsides:
Extra weight – turf that already has infill inside can be four to five times heavier than synthetic grass without infill. This can make transportation and installation more difficult,
Limited choice – since many types of infills exist, turf without infill allows you to choose the best product for your needs. For example, to improve artificial grass for dogs, you could buy an odor-absorbing infill like ZeoFill. If the infill is already inside, you would have to remove it.
If you want a higher-quality infill, you can buy extracted turf. Extracted turf is used artificial grass with infill removed. This type of turf is easier to install because it weighs only around 0.5 pounds per square foot.
