Typically when installing a large area, staging the grid into parts of 3 is best.

 

Pull the 3 part grid to make sure the they are attached well.

attach the small end first to the row, holding the left side up so it doesn't snag, snap in.

 

That should line up the left side to attach, once all male connectors are lined pull all 3 away from the left side to snap in and you should be done.

 

Be aware of the yellow connectors on one corner of each part, if the male connectors are not dropping into the female connectors some thing is wrong.

 

You should be able to do 21 sqft. once staged atleast every 20 seconds.

The options for cork flooring in North American homes has truly evolved. Designs and patterns range from traditional to modern, in original colors or dyed and add style and creativity to any room.

This is an electric bike I built from a hub motor kit and a used frame from craigslist. It has a removable battery pack, which is great for easy charging and security. It has a 600w front wheel drive front motor and can go up to 30mph for 25 miles between charges.

AirDrain Agronomic Natural Grass Drainage at the Chesapeake Energy Roof Top Sports Field

 

74,000 sqft. Natural Grass Field

 

Benefits of AirDrain in a green roofing system include:

 

AirDrain creates and helps maintain a constant Gmax for artificial turf (See below)

Thickness and resin consistency of AirDrain provides uniform shock absorbency

Shock absorption reduces the strain on joints and ligaments

AirDrain is only limited by the drainage capacity of the profile above it

Installation time measured in days instead of weeks

AirDrain can be reused when the artificial turf must be replaced

Water harvesting reclamation and reuse

Helps qualify for LEED and other green building credits

A smaller carbon and development footprint with reduced site disturbance

100% vertical drainage under the entire field surface

Minimizes water related injuries / Less infill migration due to superior drainage

AirDrain is a 100% recycled product

Less infill migration due to superior drainage

GMAX Information Existing Conditions for Testing

 

Turf - 2 1/2” Slit Film, in filled with 50% Green Rubber Infill and 50% Silica Sand.

 

The drainage/shock pad and turf underlying substrate consists of a concrete deck/rooftop, coated with a waterproof membrane and 10 ounce 100% recycled polyester geo-textile filter fabric.

  

The Standard Test Method for Shock-Absorbing Properties of Playing Surface Systems and Materials (ASTM F1936-98 American Football Field) testing locations and procedure were preformed. The tests were performed using a Triax 2000 A-1 Missile, tripod mounted Gmax registration unit(www.triax2000.com). This report presents background information on the test procedures, existing conditions, test results and observations in football, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey artificial sports fields.

   

The environmental impact of a green roof is undenyable, and adds significantly to the LEED Point system designed by the USGC in all five major areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Green roofing replaces the green space displaced by a building, prevents excess storm water drainage, reduces the temperature of a building and the urban heat island effect, protects and extends the useful life of a roof, and reduce energy demands.

 

What's more, a green roof incorporating AirDrain means your design includes renewable, recycled, and locally obtained materials. We know you have a choice in designing a green roof, and we hope you consider the many benefits of AirDrain.

Cork can be used as a building material. It looks chic, natural, and its eco-friendly! Cork is also resistant to mildew, rot and mold. Naturally occurring suberin is the key substance that prevents cork from rotting even when it is completely submerged under water for a long period of time.

The instructions in the booklet are also non-intimidating, inviting, and seem simple. Once I have a few spare minutes, I'll give 'er a whirl!!
