I was worried that the door might get stuck on the turf. Its thin enough to open and close the door smoothly. The grass feels nice. I really like its green color. I didn't use any glue or anything, like that. I simply trimmed the edges, filled in the gaps with pieces (I suppose you could cut it precisely but that was good enough for me). You can check out the before and, after photos. I also tried cleaning it with a vacuum (to get rid of all the debris from cutting). It seems to work too.
