If I was going to stay in my current condo I'd probably put some of that turf on my screened in porch. I like how you put it on the ledge too. Sorta like moss.

It indeed feels like thick moss when you touch it barefoot.
I assume once or twice a year I will flush it some anti-alga/moos/greenlittleunwantedsomethings as a prevention, the thing gets full sun for half of th day.


I have stonewear below it whitch 3-4mm spaces between the tiles, and a drainage under these, I hope this is sufficient, the mild rain this night did not vcause any puddles remaning in the morning, but I will need to see how it works with heavy rainfall. Drainage opportunties always must be considered if you want to put it on sealed underground.



The look varies, depending on the direction from which you look at it, with or against the grain. It's a little shiny when you look with the grain, it looks more natural and produces more natural green tones when you look against the grain. That's why I had to flip the whole coating 180 degrees when I was done the first time....


Hm, grain probably is not the right word, but I know no better.

You have completely missed the point, dude! All green you see is artificial. See the first photo. The turf is ~4-4.5 cm thick.
