  • It took about 3 months and cost $11,700 in 2012. The end of the video shows how it looks 4 years later in 2016. The reason it costs so much was due to excavation, a retaining wall, lawn pad, a perimeter wood wall and expensive delivery. The turf was a remnant purchased from Tencate for $2,530 which included shipping from Georgia to Kansas. Envirofill ($504) + SofPlay lawn pads ($1,190) were purchased from XGrass. Shipping for those two things were $588. Envirofill is a painted sand product that is less toxic than black crushed tires. The field measures 50' x 30' and uses two pieces of turf with a seam down the middle.

    • @VideoGuy
      @VideoGuy  4 года назад +3

      My turf is a high quality product that still looks good after many years of use and extreme temperature changes living in Kansas. It's flattened a bit from normal use, but I also could have added more infill. The turf is also porous, so water drains through it. However, if there is a heavy rain, it's important that you have a small slope so excess water drains away from your house. The only maintenance required for me is to blow off the leaves every so often.

      There are holes in the turf and there is a slight slope for water drainage. There has never been a swamp after torrential Kansas rain storms.

    • @VideoGuy
      @VideoGuy  7 лет назад +1

      I don't have an answer regarding the gravel. I chose the cheaper quote and the company delivered something that retained some water. Bad luck. The wood barrier wall has not started rotting. It does a nice job of keeping the ball in play.

    Great great job ! but i gotta say, from experience those very short wooden walls are not a good idea, either go back a meter or so and make a higher one or a net works better and cheaper and see through, or no wall at all, coz if anyone trip and fall down on those it would hurt really bad no matter where he hits the walls !

    • @VideoGuy
      @VideoGuy  6 лет назад

      Thank you for the feedback. Nobody has been injured on the wood wall, but I was concerned about it and thought about covering them with something. The good thing about the wall is that it help keep the ball in play and block out some of the leaves from blowing on the pitch.

    When you build the turf field like that, is the surface permeable? The reason I ask is that my county only gives us a certain amount of non-permeable space to build on. Otherwise brilliant build!

    • @VideoGuy
      @VideoGuy  7 лет назад +1

      There are holes in the turf for water drainage. It is a permeable surface. However, if there is a very heavy rain, there will be some run-off. So, you have to consider where the water will go. Make sure there is a small slope away from your house.

      The plastic film was provided by the turf manufacturer (Tencate). It was maybe 12 inches wide and a thin clear plastic. You can hear it "crackle" when walking on the seam which I find a little annoying. The adhesive was an all-purpose adhesive... probably Liquid Nails... and has done a great job.
