Read our fitting guide for VertEdge below using a dry fix method. VertEdge can also be installed using quick dry cement, instructions for this can be found here.
- Remove the existing turf lawn and excavate the area to a depth of around 75mm – 100mm depending of the artificial grass thickness and ground conditions.
- Apply a Type 1 MOT aggregate over the entire area to a depth of around 50mm – 100mm again depending on artificial grass thickness and ground conditions, rake out to create an even surface. The Type 1 MOT aggregate level should be set 20- 30mm below the finish height.
- Compact aggregate with a vibrating compactor plate machine, ensuring the edges are tightly compacted. Any hard to reach areas and corners not accessible to the compactor machine should be compacted with a heavy tamper.
- Once the Type 1 MOT is compacted with the correct perimeter finish depth, Vertedge is ready to be installed.
- Starting from the corners, cut & mitre Vertedge using a hacksaw and a mitre box or a multi tool with a plastic segmented blade, always start from a corner working towards the centre of a side, then cut Vertedge once the 2 pieces meet.
- When installing Vertedge up to a curved finish, simply cut out the thinned-out tabs/sections in front of the V hinge with sharp tin snips. This will allow Vertedge to form to any curve/radius required. Take out the tabs as required to suit each curve/radius.
- Set Vertedge around 10mm away from the perimeter edge, again depending on the artificial grass thickness.
- Fix Vertedge using 75mm – 150mm galvanised round head nails (deeper for soft ground) through the fixing holes as required.
- Optional, subject to ground conditions – apply a dry mix of cement at perimeters mixed with type 1.
- Once Vertedge has been installed around the perimeter of the area, proceed to apply the 6mm to dust granite layer.
- Rake out the granite over the entire area pushing the granite stone in to the Vertedge cavity, it is recommended to mix cement dust with the granite stone (ratio 4:1) for the section covering the base of Vertedge (around 100mm from the cavity) bringing the dry granite mix flush with the back of Vertedge leaving the top section exposed.
- Compact the granite. More granite may need to be applied once compacted to ensure the granite is flush with the back edge of Vertedge.
- Install non-woven weed membrane over the granite.
- The artificial grass is now ready to be installed.
- Lay out the artificial grass and leave to relax.
- Cut the artificial grass around 5-10mm over the finish edge/fence/wall etc.
- Once the artificial grass has been cut around the whole area, carefully pull back the grass around 300mm away from the Vertedge.
- Using the specialist EverFix ULTRA adhesive, apply a 3-5mm bead of adhesive on the exposed top section of Vertedge around the whole area.
- Once the EverFix ULTRA adhesive has been applied, carefully fold back the artificial grass.
- Proceed to press the artificial grass around the perimeter ensuring good adhesive contact between Vertedge and the artificial grass backing.
- Using a bolster and a rubber mallet, tuck down the artificial grass into the back edge gap between Vertedge and the perimeter finish.
- The artificial grass is now 100% fixed & secure around the perimeter, ready to be sand filled and brushed.
