GL Artificial Grass Mats Lawn Carpet Customized Sizes - 7FTx12FT turf

In this review we look closely at the GL Artificial Grass Mats Lawn Carpet to see who will get the most from a 7ft x 12ft roll of faux turf. The bottom line: this turf is for homeowners or renters who want a low-maintenance, weatherproof surface for patios, balconies, pet areas or indoor displays, and its biggest selling point is the ready-made roll with a soft, high density polyethylene pile and drainage-ready latex backing that cleans and dries quickly.

Key Features

• Premium materials: The high density polyethylene face gives a soft feel and good colour stability while resisting UV and weathering.
• Water management: A water resistant latex backing with drainage holes allows surface water to pass through so the rug dries faster after cleaning or rain.
• Low maintenance: The synthetic fibres are easy to hose down and brush, reducing upkeep compared with natural grass in small urban spaces.
• Custom sizing: The turf comes in a roll format and can be supplied or cut to custom sizes so it fits balconies, patios or pet runs without excess trimming.
• Indoor and outdoor use: Designed to withstand varied weather, it is suitable for decks, roof gardens, pool surrounds, play areas and utility trailers.
• Easy install: The roll-out design lets a single person position and trim the carpet for an immediate finished surface.

Who It's For

This artificial grass is aimed at buyers who need a practical decorative surface rather than landscaping professionals seeking turf for full lawn replacement. It works particularly well for balconies, patios, small yards, playrooms and pet areas where a clean, green look and easy maintenance are priorities.

It is less appropriate for customers who expect a very thick, premium lawn-like turf or those wanting an engineered underlay and professional permanent installation; some buyers have noted thinner sections and light fraying under heavy wear, so those needing maximum durability should compare heavier-duty options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Looks convincingly like grass and provides a neat, green finish for patios and balconies.
• Easy to clean and quick to dry thanks to the drainage holes and water resistant backing.
• Versatile for indoor and outdoor applications and available in customizable roll sizes.
• Good value for money for decorative and utility uses such as pet runs and displays.

Cons

• Some buyers report the turf is thinner than expected and may fray under heavy use.
• Not a substitute for full lawn installation where professional grading and thicker infill turf are required.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The GL Artificial Grass Mats 7ft x 12ft roll is a practical, budget-friendly choice for anyone wanting a quick green upgrade for balconies, patios or pet spaces; its UV-proof fibres and drainage-ready backing make it low maintenance and weather resistant. For displays and light-to-moderate outdoor use it offers solid value, though buyers seeking very thick, long-wearing turf should consider heavier products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this turf be cut to fit irregular areas?
Yes, the roll can be trimmed to shape with a utility knife and will not fray easily at trimmed edges for typical decorative use.

Is the backing suitable for outdoor use in rain?
The latex backing includes drainage holes so surface water passes through and the rug dries more quickly after rain or cleaning.

Will pets damage the turf?
It is suitable for pet areas and easy to clean, but very high-traffic or digging behaviour may cause faster wear or fraying compared with heavier commercial-grade turf.
