Premium Artificial Grass Rug 5 ft x 17 ft - Thick 1.38 in Turf

In this review the Premium Artificial Grass Rug is judged on realism, durability and outdoor performance. It is aimed at homeowners, renters and pet owners who want a low maintenance green surface that looks and feels lush without regular mowing. The single biggest reason to buy is the dense 1.38 in pile and heavy 75 oz per square yard weight, which give a noticeably thick, soft turf that stands up to foot traffic and pet use while draining quickly thanks to built-in holes.

Key Features

• Thick pile height: The 1.38 in grass fibers create a dense, plush surface that closely resembles natural lawn and hides substrate beneath.
• Heavyweight turf: At 75 oz per square yard the mat feels substantial and resists matting under frequent use.
• Fade resistant color: The fibers are designed to keep color over time so the rug stays green without mowing or watering.
• Pet and people safe: The synthetic material is suitable for pets and household use, and works well as a dog potty patch or play area with easy cleanup.
• Drainage holes: Rubber backing with drainage perforations allows water to pass through so the surface dries quickly after rain or cleaning.
• Versatile installation: Sized at 5 ft x 17 ft for large coverage and can be trimmed or used in decorative DIY projects for fences or event backdrops.

Who It's For

This turf rug is a good fit for homeowners with patios, balconies, decks or small yards who want a realistic green surface without the upkeep of live grass. It also works well for families with pets who need a durable, easy to clean outdoor mat that drains and hides dirt.

People who need synthetic grass for high heat play areas should look elsewhere or use shade during peak sun, because the plastic fibers can heat up in direct sunlight and may become hot to the touch; the product note warns against playing on the mat during very high temperatures.
