Regular maintenance of your Fiberbuilt Golf mat or tee line will ensure maximum life for their components, keep them looking great and reduce the need for replacements. Here's a quick guide for taking care of your product:

 

Hitting Surface Panels

Cleaning: Fiberbuilt Grass and Player Preferred Series hitting surfaces should be pressure washed once per year to remove any sand or dirt that has accumulated in the fibers. For high-volume use, such as on busy ranges or in teaching studios, you can pressure wash them more frequently.

Minimizing Wear:
Player Preferred Series - Regularly changing the ball position for hitting on the 2'x4' Pure Impact Turf hitting panels will optimize the patterns of wear on the panels. These panels can also be rotated 180º to increase their lives.

Fiberbuilt Grass Series - Hitting surface panels can be rotated 180º as wear emerges on one side. In the case of Fiberbuilt Grass tee lines or double-hitting mats, you can swap the left side panel for the right side  panel to maximize the overall life of the hitting surfaces, or just replace the one that is worn.

 

Performance Turf

Cleaning: Sand and dirt collects in the nylon fibers of Performance Turf and will deteriorate and damage the nylon if it is not washed regularly. Whether it's in Performance Turf Series Tee Boxes or stance and spacer mats in Fiberbuilt Grass Series mats, the turf should be removed from the rubber foundation and pressure washed every few months. 

Minimizing Wear: Performance Turf mats can be rotated regularly to balance wear. Rectangular mats can be rotated 180º and square mats can be rotated 90º at a time to maximize the life of your turf. 

 

Rubber Foundation

Maintenance: The rubber foundation should be swept out occasionally. The frame may also be pressure washed. You will need to ensure that the drainage holes do not plug up with sand and dirt. You may also consider drilling additional holes into the rubber foundation to accelerate the water drainage.To keep your rubber foundation looking clean and new, you can apply tire cleaner (like Armor All) to the OUTSIDE EDGES ONLY. (Do not apply to the top surface as it will reduce the grippiness of the turf's backing and make it less stable during swings.)


Ball Trays

Maintenance: Ball Trays should be swept and cleaned occasionally and may also be pressure washed. To keep ball trays looking new, apply a tire cleaner (like Armor All) to the ball trays.


Off-Season Storage (for Practice Facilities)

Stack hitting panels vertically against a wall and stack only 5-8 deep. (DO NOT stack the hitting surface horizontally on top of each other; this will flatten the nylon fibers.) The turf stance mats and the rubber foundations can be stacked on each other horizontally. Do not mix the stack.
