Can you tell me the difference in the lawn pads vs the shock pads, ie fall ratings etc? We are considering artificial turf for our back yard lawn with a playground.

For artificial grass installations, both lawn pads and shockpads will provide the cushions to make the turf feel great. However, shockpad is thin and will only provide minimum cushioning with no fall ratings, lawn pads are thick which can not only provide cushioning but also fall ratings. For an example, a 1-1/4” thick lawn pad’s fall rating is 5’, in another word it will be safe to fall from 5’. Combinations of different lawn pads can provide different fall ratings. In general, the lawn pads cost more than shockpads. To learn more about our shockpad or lawn pad products, please feel free to call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected], thank you!
