GL Artificial Grass Mats 2FT x 73FT (146 sq ft) - Custom Faux Turf

In this review we look at the GL Artificial Grass Mats 2ft x 73ft roll, a long-format synthetic turf aimed at homeowners and small businesses who want a low-maintenance green surface. The bottom line: this 146 square ft roll is best for covering balconies, patios, pet areas and display spaces where a realistic look and quick installation matter most, because it combines a soft polyethylene pile with a water resistant backing and drainage holes that make cleaning and outdoor exposure straightforward.

Key Features

• Premium construction: The pile is made from high density polyethylene that feels soft to the touch while standing up to outdoor use.
• Weather resistant: UV-proof fibres and weather-resistant materials mean color and performance are designed to last under sun and rain.
• Water management: A latex backing with drainage holes allows water to pass through so the surface dries quickly after wet weather.
• Custom size roll: Supplied as a ready-made roll in the stated 2ft x 73ft size and available for further customization to fit unusual layouts.
• Low maintenance: The surface is easy to clean, resists staining, and helps keep shoes and indoor floors cleaner when used at entryways.
• Multi-purpose use: Works equally well for balcony, deck, pet runs, kindergarten play areas and table or display decoration.

Who It's For

This turf roll suits homeowners who need a long narrow strip of artificial grass for patios, balconies, roof gardens or a pet run, and for small businesses that want a quick green surface for displays or events. It is particularly useful when a ready-made roll simplifies installation and when UV resistance and drainage are priorities.

It is less appropriate for buyers seeking very thick, premium landscape turf for heavy sports use or for places where a high pile and heavy infill are required; those shoppers should consider higher-grade landscaping systems made for heavy traffic and impact resistance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Realistic appearance that many customers praise for patios and balcony use.
• Easy to roll out and cut to size, making installation fast and accessible for DIY projects.
• Good water drainage and quick drying thanks to the perforated latex backing.
• UV-proof and weather resistant materials help maintain color outdoors.

Cons

• Some users report mixed durability and that thinner options can fray sooner than expected.
• The pile thickness is not as substantial as premium landscaping turf, so it may feel less cushioned underfoot.
