We wanted to improve our back yard which was all mud so
our family and our dog could enjoy it. So we contact a
landscaping company who installs artifical turf. We asked all
the appropriate questions. Including how hot does it get.
We were told it gets hotter than grass but it would not be
to hot we couldn't use it or to cause any safety issue.
The truth is it gets so hot you can't use it and it does present safety
concerns. On a day when the air temp was low 80's the turf
was over 150 degrees. Certainly not safe for my dog or family to enjoy. The owner of the company did not see any reason to be concerned with our dog using it. This product should come
with a safety warning. The consumer need to know the real facts about how hot the turf gets.
