  • How do I install Coolaroo turf?

    Installation typically involves:

    • Preparing and levelling the base
    • Laying and trimming the turf
    • Securing with turf pins or joining tape (both available in the Coolaroo range)
    • Brushing the pile upright

    For larger areas, compacted crushed rock and sand infill may be recommended.

  • Can I cut Coolaroo turf to size?

    Yes. Coolaroo turf can be easily cut with a utility knife to fit your space.

  • How do I clean and maintain Coolaroo turf?

    Rinse with water to remove dust

    • Brush the fibres occasionally to keep them upright
    • Remove leaves and debris with a broom or blower

  • What sizes are available?

    Coolaroo turf is sold in:

    • Pre-cut 1m x 1m or 1m x 3m pieces (varies by product)
    • Rolls, such as 1.83m x 5m or 1m x 3m depending on style

  • How long does Coolaroo turf last?

    With proper care, Coolaroo turf is designed for long-term outdoor use thanks to its UV-stabilised fibres and durable backing.

  • Do I need infill?

    Some multipurpose or sports applications may benefit from sand infill for stability and pile support. Landscape styles often look gret without it.
