- ADA guidelines require minimal changes in height (less than 1/4 inch without a beveled edge or up to 1/2 inch with a beveled edge) to allow for smooth movement.
- Proper edging helps connect artificial grass seamlessly to surrounding surfaces like concrete, rubber tiles, or pathways.
4. Impact Protection with ASTM F1292
- While ASTM F1951 ensures accessibility, ASTM F1292 deals with impact protection and is mostly about shock pads or underlayment, not the turf itself.
- To meet ASTM F1292, artificial grass installations may need extra padding beneath the surface to absorb falls and reduce injury risks.
5. Drainage and Maintenance
- Good drainage keeps the surface firm and prevents hazards like pooling water.
- Regular upkeep, such as infill replacement and leveling, helps maintain compliance over time.
