Gorila Pro Turf Setup Instruction Guide

Welcome to the Gorila Pro Turf Setup Guide! This step-by-step guide will help you install your Pro Turf flooring seamlessly and ensure optimal performance for your gym or sports facility. Follow these instructions carefully to achieve a professional and long-lasting installation.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • Measuring tape
  • Chalk line or marker
  • Utility knife with a fresh blade
  • Adhesive (if permanent installation is preferred)
  • Seam tape (for joining multiple sections)
  • Roller (50-100 lbs) for leveling
  • Heavy-duty gloves
  • Broom or vacuum

Step 1: Prepare the Installation Area

  1. Clear the Area: Ensure the space is clean, dry, and free of debris. Remove all furniture and obstacles.
  2. Inspect the Subfloor: Check for cracks, uneven surfaces, or moisture. The subfloor should be smooth and level for optimal turf performance.
  3. Clean the Subfloor: Sweep or vacuum to remove dust and dirt. For concrete floors, you may also mop with a damp cloth to eliminate fine particles.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Turf

  1. Measure the Space: Use a measuring tape to determine the exact dimensions of the area.
  2. Mark the Turf: Roll out the Pro Turf and use a chalk line or marker to outline the required dimensions.
  3. Cut the Turf: Use a utility knife to carefully cut along the marked lines. Make sure to wear heavy-duty gloves to avoid injury.

Step 3: Lay Out the Turf

  1. Unroll the Turf: Lay the turf sections flat in the installation area. Allow it to acclimate for 24 hours to reduce any curling or tension from being rolled.
  2. Align the Sections: If using multiple turf pieces, align them edge-to-edge to ensure a seamless appearance.

Step 4: Secure the Turf

  • Temporary Installation:
    For non-permanent setups, simply place the turf and ensure the edges are flush against walls or fixed objects. No adhesive is required.

  • Permanent Installation:

    1. Apply adhesive to the subfloor in small sections using a trowel.
    2. Lay the turf over the adhesive and press firmly.
    3. Use a roller to ensure even adhesion and remove air bubbles.
    4. Repeat in sections until the entire turf is secured.

Step 5: Seam the Sections (If Applicable)

  1. Apply Seam Tape: Place seam tape underneath the edges of two adjoining turf pieces.
  2. Add Adhesive: Apply adhesive to the tape and press the turf edges onto the tape.
  3. Roll Over the Seam: Use a roller to flatten and secure the seam for a seamless finish.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Trim Excess Turf: Use a utility knife to cut any excess turf for a perfect fit around walls or equipment.
  2. Level the Surface: Use the roller to ensure the entire turf surface is even and securely adhered.
  3. Clean the Turf: Vacuum or sweep the turf to remove any loose fibers or debris from installation.

Maintenance Tips

  • Daily Cleaning: Vacuum or sweep regularly to keep the turf debris-free.
  • Spot Cleaning: Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
  • Deep Cleaning: For larger spaces, use a turf brush or commercial-grade turf cleaner to maintain its fresh appearance.
