The Drainbase border provides a clean, simple finish and neatly defines your artificial grass project. The border clamps the artificial grass along the edge, so you maintain a tidy line.
Because the edging holds the artificial grass in place along the edge, you prevent the grass edge from curling up or coming loose. The artificial grass stays firmly in place, even over time.
Finish the sides of the artificial grass panels with the optional Drainbase L-profile. This profile prevents topsoil from being washed away sideways from under the artificial grass and stops pests from crawling under the panels.
A steel edging system for a sleek, durable finish for any artificial grass project.
The Drainbase borders have been developed for the edge finishing of artificial grass projects:
Step 1 – Determine the layout
Determine the route of the edge of your artificial grass project and mark out the layout with a cord.
Step 2 – Install the border
Place the Drainbase border along the marked-out layout so that the artificial grass is clamped along the edge and the grass edge cannot curl up.
Step 3 – Finish with L-profile (optional)
Finish the sides of the artificial grass panels with the optional Drainbase L-profile to prevent topsoil from being washed away and pests from getting under the panels.

You can easily mitre-cut the Drainbase borders yourself with an angle grinder.
It is not possible to lay multiple Drainbase tiles on top of each other, as the product is not designed for this application. Drainbase tiles are specifically developed to ensure efficient water drainage and stability in a single layer, and stacking the tiles can negatively affect the product’s functionality and effectiveness. It is important to install the product according to the instructions for use for optimal performance.
It is generally strongly recommended to use a base layer for long service life and optimal performance of the Drainbase panels. Installing directly on a substrate without preparation can lead to subsidence, inadequate drainage and reduced system performance.
Yes, the Drainbase tiles have an open structure on the side, allowing water to run towards the drain. Even when the roof terrace is completely level, i.e. without a slope, the water will still find its way to the drain. Of course, a slope of 0.5 to 1% is ideal.

Depending on each project and on the volume, the price of the installation costs of artificial grass includes excavation, placing stabilised sand, levelling and installing the artificial grass.
With a build-up using Drainbase, an underlayer of about five centimetres of lava is recommended. On top of that comes a layer of geotextile, onto which the Drainbase panels are then installed.
A 50-gram non-woven polyester geotextile is sufficient. The thicker the geotextile, the less water-permeable the end result will be.
