PVC Channel and Cap

• Step 1: Measure around the perimeter of your green to determine how many linear meters of border will be required.
• Step 2: Using a flat shovel dig a 6 inch deep trench by pulling back the dirt from around your finished green. When digging the trench you must stay as close to the green as possible without disturbing the base material or you will cause the green to cave in.
• Step 3: The channels are available in 12 meter lengths. Place a piece of the channel into the trench. Install the channel so that the top of it is level with the surface of the turf. Holding the channel with one hand, backfill with dirt tightly behind it. Butt each piece of channel snugly against the previous piece. If you have to cut a piece to make it fit use a hand saw.
• Step 4: After the channel has been installed, place sod to finish the other side of the channel. The cap will cover both the green and the sod.
• Step 5: The cap is available in 108 meter lengths so have it pre-cut when you order to your required linear footage. To install the cap, place it on top of the channel, fit it into the groove and tap into place with a rubber mallet.
• Step 6: When you return to you starting point of installation you will need to cut the end of the cap to fit with the beginning. Overlap the channel and mark your cut line and then using a sharp utility knife, slowly cut the cap. Tap the end down into place.
