1.What is the best way to slide the panels together?
DO NOT kick or hammer the panels into position. Kneel on the center
of the corresponding panels and pull the panels into position.
This will allow the panels to merge more easily.
2. Is the weed control cloth necessary?
Absolutely.
Using the weed control cloth not only keeps the panels free of
debris during installation but also helps insure the panels will
move freely during normal expansion and contraction, and help
create a more stable ground surface.
3. Why must the panels be assembled in accordance with the custom
installation guide?
We have created the exact methodology for proper
installation, taking in consideration variations in panel sizes
due to manufacturing tolerances as well as expansion and contraction. Following
our procedures insures consistent green size throughout the life
of the green.
4. How much time can I save using Tour Links?
Many installers
report that a Tour Links installation is 2/3 faster than a typical
stone-based installation.
5.What if I do not want a flat green?
You don’t have to
have one. This is the biggest advantage
of the Tour Links Contour System. Build a green on a bowling alley
and the green will be dead flat, but place the panels on a contoured
area and they will follow the terrain creating a green that will
replicate nearly anything found on a golf course. That’s
Tour Links!
6. Do I need to dig out the ground underneath the panels prior
to installation?
Absolutely not. In fact, we discourage it. By
building on top of the ground, the green becomes the high point
of the terrain allowing great water drainage. This technique also
eliminates any ill effects from frost heave. Once the installation
is finished simply build a gradual tapered berm up to the 2-inch
height of the panels creating the look of a built-in green. Nobody
will ever be able to tell the panels are actually above ground.
7. Will water flow through the panels?
The fact that the panels
are above ground insures that water will pass through the assembled
panels very quickly.
8. How do I create a contour indoors?
Styrofoam in the Tour Links
system will allow you to create the most realistic indoor or outdoor
contours imaginable in no time at all. Another A+ for Tour
Links!
9. Are the panels hard to cut if I am creating a custom shape?
No. A jigsaw and a 4-inch course cutting wood blade make
easy work of it.
10. What are the limitations of the Tour Links system?
The only
limitation is your imagination.
