    The next step

    If you have already called us, Diamond Artificial Grass, and ordered everything you need, consider three important details:

    1. The artificial grass is packed in rolls.
    2. The rolls of synthetic grass are 15 ft wide x 100 ft long.
    3. An ordinary car cannot transport the rolls safely.

      So: how are you going to transport the materials?

      If your car is a sedan, or a four-wheel-drive pickup, or a 4 x 4, but you don't have a trailer covers the length of the rolls, the situation is going to get complicated.

      If your car is a sedan, or a four-wheel-drive pickup, or a 4 x 4, but you don't have a trailer covers the length of the rolls, the situation is going to get complicated.

      If you have measured the length of your car and verified that the rolls of grass can be carried on the roof of the vehicle without any inconvenience, or you thought you could unroll them and fold them inside like a towel, well, we warn you that it is not convenient to do so because of the following:

      • If you extend the rolls to fold the grass, you will damage its fibers and it will also cause problems for the installation because these must be unrolled little by little on the ground.

      • The roof of the vehicle may sag.

      • If it is a van with a light bulb on the roof, it can crack under the weight of the grass and create cracks through which water can enter the interior of the car.

      • It can unbalance the direction of the vehicle while driving if the rolls move, putting other vehicles at risk.
      • Artificial grass rolls can fall onto the road.

      In addition, your car insurance will not cover such damage and you may incur an additional expense, or you may have a bad time that could have been avoided.

       

      Ideally, the right way to transport the artificial grass

      For personal use, and less than 2 rolls, the ideal is to move them in a trailer added to the vehicle in the back that is long enough. It can also be in a van or a truck with special storage or box type compartment, and not in traditional cars for transporting people inside and that only have a small trunk.

      Additional support

      Once you have the right vehicle you can rent a Turf Dolly, in any of our stores to facilitate the transfer of the rolls of grass from the unloading area to the land where it will be installed.
