If you are installing a putting green that is no more than 12' or 15' wide, omit this step.
For unitary backed turfs (sand filled): On a hard surface, other than your sub-base, lay the two rolls of turf side by side, green side up to determine where you want them joined. Make sure the "grain" from each roll of putting turf is going the same direction. Once you have determined the location of the seam, flip each roll over so the black side is up. Take a utility knife with a brand new blade and cut between the first and second row of stitching of the turf. Take your time and do not cut into the stitching. Do this for each roll. Cutting between the rows of stitching will create a perfectly straight cut for a tight fit for your putting green.
For Foam Backed Turfs: Do not cut a straight line in a turf with a foam backing for seaming, because you cannot see the rows of stitching. If you want to seam sections together yourself, ask us to true-cut the sections at the factory so that the seams will fit together correctly.
It is easy to round off the corners or make it a kidney shape. However, we recommend that you do not make a straight cut unless you use a professional carpet layer.
Flip the putting green back over so that the green is facing up. Make sure the seam fits cleanly together and is tight for the full length of the seam. Once you are satisfied with the seam, move the pieces of turf to your sub-base.
Position the pieces of turf to be seamed on the sub-base. Place the two pieces of turf together to form a tight seam. Position the seaming strip on the sub-base under the seam. Make sure there is an equal amount of seaming strip on each side of the seam. Spread the adhesive over the entire area of the seaming strip and allow the adhesive to set up to 5 minutes before placing the turf on the seam. Make sure the thickness of the adhesive is no more than 1/8".
Starting at one end of the putting green, fold the pieces of turf back together. Press the seam in place as you go, applying pressure to ensure good contact. Once the entire seam has been placed together, walk over the joined area several times. Try not to walk directly on the seam. Be careful not to allow adhesive to seep through the seam. Allow one hour of cure time before finishing the installation process of your putting green.
