Soccer field build log 14k square feet*

[BanginGMC 23]

Okay so obvs this is NOT car audio build log, and i couldn't decide if this belongs in the Off Topic or what so fuck it

Most people don't know how it's done, a lot of people ask me.. but it's to complicated to explain in a small conversation.

So.. what's better then a build log?

This is mainly for my SSA brothers and sisters to kill some time

This is going to be a Soccer Field in Scottsdale, AZ It's 14 thousand square feet.

This was originally an Inline Hockey Rink, but in AZ Soccer is SO much more popular.

Pulling the rolls of Turf off the trailer

Before we touched anything

Dropping the rolls of Turf in place

Second roll dropped

Keeeeep em coming!

Rolling them out

Once rolled out we have to cut a strip off on one side

Another rolled out!

Third one down!

FIFTH ONE DOWN! -- We we're kickin' ass!

Sixth one downn!

One more to go! -- rolled it out right after this picture.. see the roll past the goal?

Now start the gluing! This shit willlllll make you a DIRTY STICKY MESS!!!!!!!!!

Got Glue?!

Spinning the glue

More spinning

Seam Tape

Glue Tray!!! Thank god for this... best 300 dollars ever spent!

Field marked for Seam Tape

AND WE'RE ON!

Waiting for the glue to tac up, rolled out a all the lines

Glued down and drying

( don't mind the wrinkle, 30,000 pounds of grounded up rubber flattens them all! )

( we walked on the seams for better stickiness, thats why the seams look like that )

Tomorrow we will be cutting the circles, goal boxes, and other little things required

Here's some random pictures, tomorrow i will have more pictures of progress for you guys!

"Cobs" from the rolls of Turf, when these get wet it is a PAIN to roll the Turf out.

Backing of the Turf, those rows are called "Bead Rows"

Thats us!

I've never been on fake turf. How does it feel compared to real grass?

Its really soft plastic "fibers" they become warm from the sun and it's really nice on your hands.

Turf > Grass

There are MANY different grades of Turf though, from durable Pro Football too soft backyard baby safe Turf.

Ohhh hell yeah it makes a world of a difference! On a Football field around 80,000 -- 100,000 pounds of rubber is spread out across the field.

Its recycled tires from car and such that get grounded up, there is also MANY different grades of rubber too.

From ones half size of your pinky finger nail to dust like kind, also have different colors.. mostly white and black though.. more black of anything.

Rubber comes in these BIG ass bags that are used to transport peanuts and such and each bag when filled with rubber weighs 2000 -- 3000 pounds.

Off to work again! See you guys in 12-18 hours

It gives you road rash like no other if you get tackled

So today kind of sucked, we didn't get shit done.

There was an issue with the Goal boxes and Scott ( client ) was in a meeting ALL day so we had to hold on on doing them till 11 o'clock at night...

Straight up a MILLION bugs everywhere! They LOVED the lights and our sunblock.. it was bad.

Here's the pictures!

With it being Arizona and all we get a lot of heat wrinkles.. some we have to cut open and trim down and glue back down, no biggie.

After we fixed some wrinkles, we centered the field off so we could get out Goal boxes cut out.

Cut strips of white Turf for the Goal boxes and such.

Laid out where the Goal boxes should be

-- This is when we had to wait hours too find out Scott wasn't even going to show up.. --

So, we said the hell with him and continued on with something else.. like picking dry glue off the Seams.

After we picked the SHIT out of the Seams we Groomed them.

With this beast haha

Now, on too the center circle..

Cut and laid in so we can slice relieve cuts

( haha, looks like 3 guys standing around looking at one guy working )

On with more gluing, oohhhh joy haha.

Glue ready

Glue placed in for Center Circle

After we laid the glue down and everything for the Center we ended up cutting and gluing the Goal boxes in

Very cool. I have been playing on turf fields for most of my indoor life. Pretty sweet to see one built. Thank you. BTW, snapped both of my knees on turf, never a serious injury on grass.

Not a prob dude

I'm going back to work in an hour or so, the Semi Truck is suppose to be there within an hour so we can unload the bags then cut the other Goal box and a few other things. Then we have to glue the edges down around the outside of the field.
