FAQ
5 MOST POPULAR FAQ
The Flying Grass Carpet can stay as long as you like.
- The Baby Carpet is easy to transport and to install. It is often used for parties or openings that only last a day or a weekend. On the other hand the Baby Carpet has also been part of events that took weeks or even months.
- The Junior Carpet is a little bigger but is also easy to install. You can use it for one day events and or anything that lasts longer.
- The Medium and the Original take longer to install, therefor its worthwhile to let them stay longer. In the past they have been to locations where they stayed from five days to half a year.
- Custom made Flying Grass Carpets can stay as long as you like. The materials we use are strong and are colour resistant. The Artificial Grass has a life span of approximately ten years.
Despite its name The Flying Grass Carpet doesn’t actually fly. Depending on its size and destination it travels by van (the Baby and Junior Carpet), by truck (the Original) or by container if part of the transport has to be done over seas.
The Baby Carpet will only take an hour to unroll and we need some time to brush it and make it look shiny.
The Junior Carpet will take three hours to install and will get a good brush as well.
The Medium Carpet takes one and the Original two days. These Carpets are made out of strips that have to be attached to each other. This is a precise job. The bigger the longer it takes.
Absolutely. The Flying Grass Carpet is perforated with tiny holes. Rainwater will go through immediately.
Of course. The Flying Grass Carpet is perfect for parties. The Carpet is made of very strong Artificial Grass. It can easily host a lot of dancing and jumping people. And at each party people will, in their enthusiasm, spill a drink or drop some food. That´s no problem for The Flying Grass Carpet. The material of which it is made has a handy feature. Dirt doesn’t stick to it. So after the party, it can be easily cleaned with a bit of soapy water and a big brush.
Of course we appreciate it if you clean it after the party, so that we won´t get a sticky Carpet back.
