What to avoid, when purchasing a turf cover:

If you’ve never purchased a turf cover before, don’t be fooled by cheap imitations of the Evergreen Turf Cover product line. When it comes to a turf cover, remember the old adage “you get what you pay for.”

Covers with a sewn/grommet edge

    * having grommets limits the use and flexibility of the cover
    * the cover cannot be shaped, trimmed or cut without unraveling and fraying the material
    * grommets are spaced along the seam rather than where they are needed
    * the grommets will fall out and separate from the product with minimal use
    * grommets will pull out and tear the cover
    * anchoring pins cannot be put within the cover due to serious potential damage

Covers cannot be custom sized on site

    * the mesh is easily separated even with careful handling
    * separated mesh causes turf damage and exposure
    * no potential for resizing or shaping, limiting you to factory sizing for covers
    * cannot be sized for custom fittings or slit, for example: no holes for goalposts
    * uniform growth underneath the cover can be compromised
    * if the hem goes the cover will unravel and become obsolete
    * the material is not reinforced and is less durable for a shorter expected life for the product

The weave (construction) is too tight

    * the turf can become smothered damaging the turf and limiting its potential to grow
    * there is not enough of nature's elements passing through the cover
    * reduces the flow of air and moisture
    * results are much more limited with less overall performance for the cover
    * Lack of proper ventilation creates excessive heat and moisture under cover, which may damage longer term health and color of grass plant
