DIY (do it yourself) projects are becoming increasingly popular<\/strong>, not only because of the high costs of decorative products and services, but also because by doing it in a handmade way we can give it our personality<\/strong> or make it practically custom-made.<\/p>\n

Making an artificial grass carpet is a fairly simple and inexpensive process<\/strong> but it can provide us with decorative elements in large or more modest sizes.<\/p>\n

Choose the design<\/h2>\n

The first thing we must do is determine the space<\/strong> where we are going to place our carpet.<\/p>\n

Then we choose the design<\/strong> so we don’t waste material. If the design we choose is related to the space we will achieve a perfect combination. Although if we choose a classic design (round, square, rectangular) it will also look good and will be valid over time.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What to know before starting?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Without a doubt we must know where we want to place<\/strong> it and the specific functions of that space.<\/li>\n
  • The measurements of the carpet<\/strong> we want to place.<\/li>\n
  • Whether the space is frequented by few or many people.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Whether environmental factors<\/strong> such as sun, water and air will directly affect the carpet.<\/li>\n
  • What colour we want the carpet<\/strong> to be, remembering that artificial grass is available in a variety of colours and shades of green.<\/li>\n
  • What shape or design<\/strong> we want the carpet to have and how we are going to fix it to the surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\u00bfQu\u00e9<\/p>\n

    It’s also good to know that:<\/p>\n

    Artificial grass should have certain basic characteristics<\/strong> that apply even to a carpet and they are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • It does not glow.<\/li>\n
    • It does not itch.<\/li>\n
    • It does not make noise.<\/li>\n
    • It returns to the vertical quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Perhaps the most economical artificial turf or a second-hand one would be appropriate for a carpet,<\/strong> but always knowing that the durability is lower and that, at least in the case of second-hand turf, it has no guarantee.<\/p>\n

      Step by step<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Determine the space and its function.<\/li>\n
      • Choose a design.<\/li>\n
      • Use a thick marker to draw the figure on the back of the lawn.<\/li>\n
      • Cut with scissors or industrial cutter.<\/li>\n
      • Install.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
