What the Pros Say ... ¡°Forum Floor provided the best protection... even with heavy use and covering the turf for days at a time, the grass is healthy and green when the flooring comes up... It's great stuff."
¨C Lemar Morrison, Director of Turf Management for the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.

Case Study ¨C Bay-to-Breakers
After-Race Party
Polo Fields
Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

Application Period ¨C Seven days.

Coverage ¨C 80,000 square feet.

Weight / Force Levels ¨C Moderate impact supporting concession operations, cooking equipment and supplies.

Results ¨C After a seven-day coverage, the sod was healthiest in the areas covered by the product.

Residual Effects ¨C After heavy use, Forum Floor^® imprints a ridge-like pattern in the grass ¨C but only in the grass. Even in areas with the highest force impact, the sod was undamaged. After a few days of normal care the indented areas of grass lifted and the surface was again level.

Comparison / Contrast ¨C The drier appearance of the areas not covered by Forum Floor^®is attributable to the inability to water from event setup to event breakdown. The perforated Forum Floor^®allowed the covered areas of sod to breath and get sun while retaining dew accumulated in the mornings of the four-day installation.
