Astro-Turf

[Palmer]

I know there have been a few threads on this but i don't think any specific threads.

In my G.C.S.E d.t at school i am going to make a food shelf for my aviary.
I was wondering where the best place is to get astro-turf?
This would be much appresiated if anybody had any suggestions.
At the moment i only know of Ben Long, but this is i think expensive.
Also what type of astro-turf would be best e.g dence or soft.
Thanks

[Palmer]

Anyone?:confused:
This would be really handy if you could help out!

Homebase or B&Q mate,they do it in 3ft x 2ft or something
ideal for what you want it for
probably wont need it if its only a food shelf,for a shelf perch then yes.

[Palmer]

Thanks mate, i think i will have to explore a bit though because the homebase and b&q by me didn't have any. Sorry a shelf perch.:oops:

[BFC 007]

have you a MATALAN store near you?they also do it.

[Palmer]

Yep we got the whole fleet matalan, B&Q and homebase. Ow and also another little shop that may do it.
Would the quality be good anoth?

[BFC 007]

yep should be ok

[Palmer]

Sounds good then.
Thanks

[Palmer]

:roll: Sounds good so far guys i might get two.LOL. Do you think they are good enuf quality?

[Chris S]

just remember to get the right stuff its the one that on each blade of grass there is a slight kink in it just over halve way up so if you put your hand on it it gose flat the other stuff is straight and sticks in the bottom of birds feet it both made by astro turf but the later is for door matts.this can cause all sorts of problems but dont take my wordf or it both nick fox and neil forbes have proved it.
good luck

[Jackson]

Yea don't worry there will be pics. I probably wont start making it for a week or 2 due to boring old paper work.

Try Pound stretcher they sell them for £2.99 excellent.

[Sean]

i got a mat for 2:50 outa poundstrecther today lol, seems dodgey though, hurts when i press my palm on it.

[Palmer]

Are the little grass blade things bent in the middle? E.g not just straight

[OutFlying]

I wouldn't call that astroturf, it's a plastic doormat. The best astroturf is the stuff used for gardens or sporting purposes.

OF.

[Sean]

the brissles are just vertical

[Palmer]

Just a s****er thing i dont think thats astroturf mate.

Myn is fairly soft when you press on it.

[BrianM]

bought this direct from j mart who own astroturf

[Palmer]

Myn looks exactually the same as far as i can see from the pictures

[BrianM]

the roll worked out at £25 per square meter plus vat
thats £440 per roll ,, cant be the same stuff if youve bought it for £2.50

[Palmer]

Seems ok.

[Chris S]

thats the real deal you have there brian m, that door matt stuff is for getting **** of the bottom of your boots so you can see why its no good for birds feet.
you get what you pay for.
