If you need a guide to cut the final shape of your putting green, use an extension cord or chalk and lay it on your putting green surface in the general shape you desire. Simply take a pair of sharp shears or a utility knife and cut along the outside perimeter of your marked area. Be sure to take your time and make clean cuts.
The turf should not be glued. However, if you do choose to do so, you need to use synthetic surfaces 34 N. To apply this adhesive, use a 1/8 or 1/16 notched trowel. This product cannot be bought at your local hardware stores. To prevent stretching, moving, or ripples, due to temperature variations, the turf should be attached around the perimeter with landscape stakes. You may want to cover about 2"-4" of the edges of the turf with the grass sod or landscape edging material, for additional stability.
If you choose to glue your turf to the base, make sure the base is clean and glue the entire turf (100%) to your chosen base. You must use a urethane compatible glue and the glue should be tacky before attaching the turf to the sub-base. It is very important to avoid moisture when applying the adhesive. Also, when installing a putting green the temperature must be over 60°.
Your turf is sent to you in a roll. Any turf, with a foam backing should never have a wrinkle from shipping, however, if it does, we suggest going over it with a lawn roller filled with 250 lbs of water. If you receive a turf with unitary backing (no foam) that has any wrinkles from shipping, you may want to heat the wrinkle with a hair dryer (don't burn or melt the backing).
