When installing a join, we recommend a self-adhesive joining tape. To start, lay the joining tape down where the join will be and peg it in place. Pull the grass together and make sure the join is sitting nice and not “mohawking” in the middle. Pull the edges of the grass back and remove the joining tape backing. As you do this, pull the grass together in a zipper-like motion. Ensure that the grass is secure along the whole length of the join.
We sell aluminium butyl joinging tape in store, and it is $30 for a 10m length. The split backing of this tape makes it easy to install on your own. Just lay the tape out on the cracker dust where the join is going to be. Lay the grass on top and match the two pieces together nicely. Then, flip the grass back and pull one side of the tape back off and match the grass back down, sticking it to the tape. Once you have the join looking nice, peel the other side of the backing out from underneath slowly. Push the other side of the grass join down onto the tape. Once the join is in place we recommend securing it with pegs. Hammer in U-shaped pegs every 30-40cm connecting both sides of the join as an extra reinforcement.
