I-Artificial Turf, nezinzuzo zayo zokungabi namanzi,{0}}ukungazweli, futhi kulula ukuyinakekela, isetshenziswe kakhulu kwezemidlalo, ukwakheka kwezwe, ezohwebo, nezindawo zokuhlala. Nokho, ukubona ukusebenza kwayo ngokugcwele nokwelula ubude bayo bempilo, ukuthembela kuphela kwikhwalithi yezinto ezibonakalayo akwanele. Amasu afanele ngesikhathi sokufakwa kanye nokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke nawo abalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi i-turf ifanelana kahle nendawo yayo kanye nezidingo zokusetshenziswa.
Okokuqala, ukulungiswa kwendawo kanye nokwelashwa kwe-subgrade kuyizimfuneko zokuqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iphrojekthi entsha yokwakha noma yokuvuselela, i-subgrade kufanele ibe isicaba, iqine, futhi ibe nokukhipha amanzi okuhle. Ukwehliswa okuqinile (njengokhonkolo netiyela) kudinga amalunga okunweba kanye nesendlalelo sebhafa ukuze kuvinjelwe ukuqhuma kwe-turf noma ukuqhekeka ngenxa yokwanda nokufinyela okushisayo. Izingxenye ezingaphansi komhlabathi noma eziyisihlabathi kufanele zihlanganiswe futhi zibe nomthambeka wokukhipha amanzi ukuze kuvinjelwe ukunqwabelana kwamanzi okungaholela ekukhuleni kwesikhunta noma ukuxega kwezimpande zotshani. Ukuhlanza udoti nezinto ezicijile ngaphambi kokufakwa kunganciphisa ingozi yokuguga kotshani kamuva kanye nokuwa kwendawo.
Okwesibili, ukukhetha okufanele nokufakwa kwe-turf kuyisihluthulelo sokuthuthukisa kokubili ubuhle nokusebenza. Izimo ezihlukene zokusetshenziswa zinezidingo ezihlukene zobude botshani, ukuminyana, kanye nokokusebenza: Izinkundla zemidlalo kufanele zisebenzise-ubude obuphakathi,{2}}utshani obuqinile obuphakeme{2}}obunotshani obunwebekayo ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zokugijima nokuwa; ukwakheka kwezwe kanye nezindawo zokuphumula zingasebenzisa utshani obude, obuthambile ukudala ukuthungwa kwemvelo; izindawo okusetshenzelwa kuzo izingane kufanele zibeke phambili utshani obumelana nendawo yokuhlala futhi obunobungani nemvelo futhi obungenabo-ubuthi. Lapho ubeka, gcina imicu yotshani iqondanisiwe, igoqe noma iqondise ama-seams, futhi uyivale nge-adhesive ekhethekile ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi akukho zikhala ezicacile noma umehluko wokuphakama, ukuvimbela ukukhubeka noma ukuqoqwa kokungcola.
Okwesithathu, ukusetshenziswa kwesayensi kanye nokuphathwa komthwalo kungandisa kakhulu impilo ye-turf. Gwema ukugxilisa imishini esindayo noma izimoto ezindaweni ezithile isikhathi eside, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezingenawo ungqimba olunwebekayo olunwetshiwe, ukuvimbela ukuwohloka kokucindezelwa kongqimba oluyisisekelo kanye nokucaba kwemicu yotshani. Ezindaweni ezisetshenziswa kakhulu-ezifana nezindawo zegoli, ulayini wokuqala wethrekhi ogijimayo, noma eduze kwempahla yenkundla yokudlala, ukuzungezisa ngezikhathi ezithile noma ukungezwa komata abavikelayo abangakwazi ukusabalalisa ingcindezi futhi kunciphise ukuguga ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Okwesine, izindlela zokuhlanza nezokulungisa kufanele zivumelane nezimo zendawo. Ukuhlanza okuvamile ikakhulukazi kuhilela ukushanela okomile noma{1}ukuphefumula komoya okuphansi ukuze kukhishwe uthuli olungaphezulu kanye nemfucumfucu engasindi. Amabala anamathelayo kufanele asulwe ngokushesha ngesihlanzi esingathathi hlangothi namanzi afudumele; ungalokothi usebenzise ama-acids aqinile, ama-alkali, noma amathuluzi abukhali ukuze ukhuhle, njengoba lokhu kungalimaza i-fibre yotshani enamathelayo kanye nokunamathela. Ngezikhathi zezimvula noma ezindaweni ezinomswakama, hlola amanzi ukuze uvimbele ukunqwabelana kwamanzi okungadala iphunga elibi noma ukuguga kwe-substrate. Ezindaweni ezinodoti osindayo wamaqabunga, kunconywa ukuthi unciphise umjikelezo wokuhlanza ukuvimbela i-humus ukuthi ingangeni ku-substrate.
Okwesihlanu, izindlela zokubhekana nezimo ezibucayi zibalulekile. Ezindaweni ezinokukhanya kwelanga okuqinile, khulisa imvamisa yokuhlanza ukuze ugcine umbala wefayibha yotshani kanye nezinga lokushisa eliphansi. Ezifundeni ezibandayo, gwema izinto ezinzima ukushayela otshanini ngemva kokukhithika; khipha ngokushesha amanzi nodaka olunqwabelene ngemva kokuncibilika kweqhwa ukuze uvimbele i-substrate ekubeni manzi. Uma uthintana nemithombo yokushisa ngephutha (njengezinqamu zikagwayi noma imililo yamalahle), pholisa indawo ethintekile ngokushesha bese ubuyisela itshali elimele ukuze uvimbele ukulimala okwengeziwe.
Okokugcina, ukuhlola okuvamile nokulungiswa kwendawo kuyizindlela ezivamile zokugcina ikhwalithi iyonke. Kunconywa ukuthi uhlole ngokucophelela ukuthi imicu yotshani iqondile, amandla omthungo kanye nesimo esingaphansi kwayo njalo ngekota. Uma imicu yotshani itholakala isicaba, kufanele ikanywe ihlehle. Utshani obuqhekeke kakhulu noma obulimele kufanele bushintshwe ngokuhambisana nemininingwane yokuqala. Lapho ubopha, qiniseka ukuthi ungqimba lwe-adhesive lulingana futhi imiphetho ivaliwe.
Kafushane, amasu okusebenzisa izici zekhava ye-turf yokwenziwa efana nokulungiselela, ukufakwa kwesayensi, ukuphathwa komthwalo, ukuhlanza nokunakekela, ukuphatha izindawo eziyingozi kakhulu, nokulungiswa okuvamile. Ukwenza lezi zindlela zokwenza kahle akukwazi nje ukuthuthukisa ubuhle nokuphepha kwe-turf kodwa futhi kunwebise ngempumelelo isikhathi sayo sokuphila, ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezizinzile{1}}ezihlala isikhathi eside eziluhlaza ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene.
