  • Timber for artificial grass

    From rob@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 26 19:32:32 2025
    I am going to put artificial grass down, and this will be 40mm thick.
    there will be 50mm of hardcore and 25mm of sharp and on top.
    That all adds up to 115mm.

    Now then, does the wood sit ontop of the hardcore or does go down the side
    of it.
    Whichever way it is , that should determine the size of the wood. Googling
    says to use 3inch x 2inch, but is that deep enough.

    I used bull-nose concrete edging.

    Did you put them on top or the side of the hardcore.

    T the side, the edging went in before the sub-base/sand
