Artificial Grass Flooring
In this blog, we examine artificial grass flooring, including its benefits, uses, and frequently asked questions. At Be Active Gyms, we install artificial grass flooring underneath our outdoor gym equipment across the UK.
What is artificial glass flooring?
Artificial grass is an alternative to natural grass. It emulates the grass colour and strands but is synthetic, so it requires very little upkeep in comparison to natural grass. These features make artificial grass an excellent choice for an outdoor gym, as it can withstand the most difficult of weather conditions.
How to clean artificial grass
Artificial grass requires very little maintenance, so outdoor gym exercise can be done without constant upkeep after every session. To keep it looking pristine, it will need to be occasionally hosed down or brushed to clear debris. If you spill something on the artificial grass, you should wipe it down with warm water and a clean sponge to avoid any potential stains.
Artificial Grass vs. Natural Grass
Artificial grass is a brilliant option as the flooring underneath the outdoor gym equipment that we provide at Be Active Gyms. The most evident benefit of artificial grass is that it will stay looking great all year round. Natural grass, on the other hand, dries out in the summer and is damaged from puddles or frost in the winter. Artificial grass requires very little upkeep compared to grass, as it will maintain its colour and cut without any hassle. Artificial grass is a non-slip soft surface that minimises the risk of injury, making it a reliable flooring when using outdoor gym equipment.
How long does artificial grass last?
Artificial grass can last up to 20 years, but this is generally dependent on its use and maintenance, which makes it a worthwhile investment in the long run. As you will need very little equipment to upkeep synthetic grass, you can save costs compared to natural grass.
Artificial Grass For Playgrounds
Because artificial grass is a safe surface, whatever the weather, it is an intelligent choice for playgrounds. Better still, artificial grass will not release pollen into the air, reducing the risk of hay fever and other allergies in children.
Artificial Grass For Outdoor Gyms
Using artificial grass for outdoor gyms is an excellent choice because it has quality shock absorption. This will help prevent injuries when doing particularly strenuous exercise. Synthetic grass also has an even surface, so you can perform exercises consistently and have a low risk of injury.
Is artificial grass the right choice for me?
Artificial grass flooring is perfectly adaptable to all outdoor gyms and playgrounds. However, if you are unsure, Be Active Gyms also has a variety of options for outdoor gym flooring, including rubber matting, rubber mulch, and wetpour safety surfacing.
