The Drainbase border provides a sleek and simple finish and neatly defines your artificial grass project. The border clamps the artificial grass along the edge, so you maintain a clean line.
Because the border 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 off the sides of the artificial grass panels with the optional Drainbase L-profile. This profile prevents topsoil from being washed out 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 - Mark out the layout
Determine the course of the edge of your artificial grass project and mark out the layout using a cord.
Step 2 - Install the border
Place the Drainbase border along the marked-out layout, so the artificial grass is clamped along the edge and the grass edge cannot curl up.
Step 3 - Finish with an L-profile (optional)
Finish the sides of the artificial grass panels with the optional Drainbase L-profile to prevent topsoil from washing away and pests from getting under the panels.

You can easily mitre the Drainbase borders yourself using an angle grinder.
It is not possible to place 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 user instructions for optimal performance.
It is usually strongly recommended to use a foundation layer for long service life and optimal performance of the Drainbase panels. Placing them directly on a substrate without preparation can lead to subsidence, insufficient drainage, and reduced system performance.
Yes, the Drainbase tiles have an open structure on the sides, allowing water to run towards the drain. Even if the roof terrace is completely level, i.e. without 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 for artificial grass includes excavation, laying stabilisé, levelling, and installing the artificial grass.
For the build-up with Drainbase, a base layer 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.
