| Choose
a spot that is away from the house and does not collect water. Find
an area that is accessible from other areas of the yard for chipping
and pitching. Take an extension cord or rope and lay it in the
general shape that you desire. |

|
While creating the shape and size of the green, you will want to
work with widths that are a multiple of 12 - the turf is
manufactured 12 foot wide. Rolls of turf can be seamed together
successfully to create widths of 24 or 36 feet. The length can be as
long as you wish - All Pro Putting Greens is able to trim the turf
at any length. |
|
As you experiment with various sizes you may find that the size you
first thought is too small. It's a good idea to chip and pitch to
the marked area from several locations in the yard to make sure it
suits your needs. |

|
Once you have a size and shape your happy with, mark the area with
spray paint. This will serve as a guide for the sub-base. You may
even want to leave it for a couple of days to make absolutely sure
you're going to be happy with the size. |

|
Sand traps are EASILY added now, too! Start with an extension cord
as before and experiment with various sizes. The average size is
6'-10' long by 4'-8' wide. Once you have a shape you like, mark the
area with spray paint to use for a guide. For detailed INSTALLATION
of sand traps, click here or follow the sand trap link in the link
table below. |

Now that you have the size and shape, make sure you have all the
tools and materials required for the installation process. |
