GL Artificial Grass Mats 7FT x 31FT Roll - Custom Faux Turf for Patio

In this review we look at the GL Artificial Grass Mats 7FT x 31FT roll and who will benefit most from it. The bottom line: this large 217 square ft turf roll is best for homeowners and renters who want a low-maintenance, all-weather artificial lawn covering for patios, balconies, dog areas or event displays. The reviewer found the turf useful because it arrives ready-made to size, resists UV and weather, and cleans easily thanks to a water-resistant backing with drainage holes.

Key Features

• Premium material: Made from high density polyethylene that feels soft to the touch while staying durable for regular outdoor use.
• Weather resistance: UV-proof construction and a water-resistant latex backing with drainage holes mean the turf can be left outdoors without quick degradation.
• Custom sizes: The product is supplied in a 7FT x 31FT roll and can be customized or trimmed cleanly to fit odd shapes or smaller areas.
• Low maintenance: Sparse debris and pet hair rinse away easily and the turf dries quickly thanks to the backing that allows water to pass through.
• Multi-purpose: Works as a surface for balconies, patios, pet runs, play areas or decorative displays, providing a consistent grasslike appearance.
• Easy installation: The roll lays down and can be cut without fraying, so basic installation requires only a utility knife and patience to position edges.

Who It's For

The turf is ideal for homeowners, renters and small-business decorators who need a large, ready-made roll to cover patios, rooftops, event spaces, or dog areas without tending natural grass. The size and durability make it a practical choice for outdoor decorators and those who prefer fast, low-effort installation.

Those seeking very thick, plush or premium landscaping turf for heavy-traffic sports fields should look elsewhere; customers report mixed opinions about thickness and some instances of fraying under heavy wear. If a carpet-like pile height and maximum cushioning are essential, consider a higher-pile turf designed specifically for that purpose.

Our Verdict

The 7FT x 31FT GL Artificial Grass Mat is a practical, economical choice for covering large patios, balconies, pet areas or temporary event flooring. It delivers a realistic look, easy upkeep and flexible sizing at a good value, though buyers wanting plush, very thick turf should consider premium alternatives.
