Snow and ice do not affect artificial turf, and usually melt and drain out of the yard without assistance.
However, in order for the playground to be used in a timely fashion when it is needed, the ice and snow on the turf need to be removed.
The principle of this work is to remove snow as close as possible to the race time. This prevents the snow from re-cleaning due to snowing again and when the air is damp, which can cause it to freeze. Because ice removal is quite difficult, preventing icing is especially important.
1. Clearance machine / Snow blower
If the snow is dry powdery, use a snow blower or a rotating brush to remove it from the playground. It is noteworthy that when in use, do not sink the machine into the grass fiber. If using a snow blower:
1 st . To place the snow blower in the middle of the playground so that part of the site can be removed.
2 ed , on the fringe of the two sections, the snow blower has to adjust its position and put the snow on the truck. The snow blower will continue to work on another area, leaving the rest to the truck.
3 rd , remove the remaining snow with a brush.
2. With a rubber scraped snow plow to remove snow
On playgrounds, it is easier to remove wet or heavy snow with a snow plow.
This scraper is similar to the kind of placement in a jeep or light car; it is worth our attention to prevent the snow blower deep into the surface.
The best way to place a snow blower is on the surface, just as you kiss the ground, and roll the snow in front. Snow, wood, metal or other solid surfaces are not allowed on artificial turf.
If using snow plow: Sweep the snow into layers. Adjust the snow blower to a suitable height; be careful it does not touch the ground. Push the snow into a pile. Shovel the snow into the truck with the front of the loader.
Remove the remaining snow with a rotary broom machine or a snow blower. Use a small aggravating lawn roller crushed ice, the remaining steps Ibid. Note: Use snow tires and ice only with pneumatic tires. Because wheel shells, chains, and bolts can damage the playground. Do not park the equipment for long periods of time on the field, which can damage the turf. Avoid using tarpaulins in the field in cold weather because tarpaulins may cling to the turf and cause difficult removal.
