AstroTurf, commonly known as artificial turf or synthetic grass, is an affordable flooring solution for an outdoor cat run. Artificial turf provides good drainage as it has porous design. It can be cleaned with ease with the help of a vacuum cleaner. Installing an artificial turf for a cat run is simple and all you need to do is follow the instruction, which are given hereunder.
Measure the area of your cat run in order to determine how much artificial turf you will need. Wash and sweep the area if it is cemented floor. If it is an outdoor location with soil base, make sure to clean it well and do not forget to spray weed killers prior to installation. Spread the turf sheets in a straight line and glue down them properly. Before using it for the run, make sure to let it dry properly.
Use glue and tape to place the seams together. After that if possible use a light or medium roller over the turf, it will help in settling it down properly and will also help in bonding the pieces together. Make sure the turf installation is level; else it can create spaces where your cat may escape.
