Start Strategically
*Watch this quick video first as it covers almost all questions.
Start the installation at the outer edges of your area using full tiles or ramp edges.
Align tiles or ramps carefully for a straight and professional starting point.
Clip tiles together by aligning the interlocking edges and pressing firmly.
Cutting Tiles
Use any wood-cutting saw to trim tiles while maintaining their structural integrity.
For Grass Tiles: Cut the mesh backing with a grinder, Use a Stanley knife for the membrane.
For curved cuts you will want to use a jigsaw.
Ramp Edges
Ramp edges are optional but recommended for areas ending on walkways or frequently used spaces. Consider they width of 80 mm to add or discount from your measurements.
It is a good finishing piece but nonecessary and so are avaliable for purchase separately.
Adhesive Use
Large Interlocked Areas:Â No glue needed. The Weight of the connected tiles and surface area are more than sufficent.
Stairs, Vertical Surfaces, or Small Detached Areas:Â Use polyurethane-based glue or liquid nails applied in dots
Stairs / Fascias - How to?
Video Tutorial
This short video demonstrates how to use the tiles vertically as a fascia or stair.
Care & Maintenance
Greasy Stain Cleaning
For cleaning BBQ grease or similar accidents:
- Boil water in a kettle and pour it directly onto the affected area.
- Use a sponge mop or a stiff brush to scrub along the grain of the boards.
- Add a mild soap for better grease removal.
- Avoid heavy commercial cleaning solutions or bleach, as these can damage the boards or significantly alter their color.
Dirt Accumulation
We let this deck sit for about 2 years in direct sun and with no cover. One blast of the pressure washer and it looked brand new!
We recommend a maintenance clean using a high-pressure washer every 6-12 months. As 55% wood content with time can create a dusty surface on the sun and weather conditions. This High Pressure cleaning will remove that.
