Rental Flooring for Events:  Carpet versus Artificial Turf

Planning an event outdoors? Renting decorative ground cover is a great way to add a little something extra.  Not only does it make your event area look more ornate and complete, it’s also functional. During the dry summer and fall months, it keeps dirt and dust from sticking to furniture, clothing, and shoes. In the winter and spring, it is a great way to cover up muddy or wet areas and prevent water from ruining your good time. Also, an outdoor ground cover can help to improve traction and safety.

Traditionally, ground cover for events has consisted of a variety of outdoor decorative carpets/rugs or hard flooring tiles: However, artificial turf has recently emerged as a new and fantastic way to add color and function for outdoor flooring at your event.

There are many benefits to using artificial turf for your events. Compared to outdoor carpeting you will get more for your money with synthetic grass.

 

Artificial Turf		Outdoor Carpets / Rugs
Made from tough polyethylene fibers		Uses nylon fibers
Drains easily		Absorbs liquid
Non-absorbent		Soils / Stains easily
Natural looking for outdoor events		Can seem out of place outdoors
Affordable		Can be expensive and impractical

 

Not only will turf look more natural in an outdoor setting and add color to your event, it is cleaner and could save you money by not losing your deposit.  Since turf is made from tough polyethylene fibers it is difficult to damage it.  It will not stain, and any spills will clean up or drain away easily.

There are many possibilities where turf can be a great addition:

Graduations

Concerts

Trade-Show Exhibits

Corporate Events

Weddings

Retirement Parties

Holiday Events

Picnics

Church Events

School Events

Tailgating Parties

Pet Events
