Professional Opinion

High Sierra artificial turf is a soft artificial grass that provides exceptional cushioning. Its recovery rate is lower than average and required some brushing to stand upright. Turf temperature under the direct sun is higher than average. The material is less resistant to wear and tear and did show signs of heavy use. 

See the results and test specifications below.

Test Results

Softness

Meter showed 64 degrees of angle adjustment.

Softer than average.

Cushion

 The tennis ball jumped 16 inches. This grass provides over double the cushion of our office carpet.

Recovery

Blades recovered 80% 

Temperature test

The recorded temperature is 102 degrees. This is 8 degrees cooler than a 2 mm stainless steel plate under the same conditions.

Wear and Tear

Blades changed shape, recovered to 65%. Wear is visible. No structural damage to blades or backing.

Test Specifications

Every test we conduct is measured and compared to a test item for easier understanding.

How do you measure turf softness?

We brush the turf 5 times with an angle measurement tool that is resistant to friction. The softer the turf, the less movement we will see on the ruler.

The fewer degrees on the ruler, the softer the turf.

How do you measure cushion?

We drop a tennis ball #3 from 6 ft. above directly on the surface of the turf to measure the cushion.  The less it bounces, the more cushion the artificial grass provides.

We compare results to the bounce carpet provides for clarity.

How do you determine turf recovery?

We place a 30lb weight on the artificial grass material for 5 minutes, then wait 15 minutes at room temperature and measure blade length compared to the original. 

 

How do you measure temperature?

We measure the temperature under the direct sun after 30 minutes of exposure without wind.

As a data backup, we compare this to the temperature of a stainless steel plate under the same conditions.

How do you assess wear and tear?

We apply an abrasive brush to the turf for a period of 30 seconds and observe the blade's structure afterward. We look for damage, twist, recovery, and blade structure deformation.
