Stop! Whatever you do, don’t install a K9 pet relief area without the proper drainage!! Dog Run Drainage Performance is divided into 3 parts: The drainage is affected by the surface area of the sub drainage touching the backer of the turf. If the urine has to find the holes and then find the holes in the drainage underlayment under a stretched and tightened turf that’s a big problem! Any underlayment touching the turf backer will harbor urine. (AirDrain has 100% vertical drainage all holes open with an inch of air, using gravity to drain the project) Vertical drainage: How fast can the urine pass all the way into the underlayment to be drained horizontally to the perimeter drain ? Horizontal Drainage: How fast can the urine be moved to the exit drain? (AirDrain is 92% air) Any of the underlayment that is touching the back of the turf has the ability to harbor and trap urine. AirDrain's 8% solid is unmatched don't let'em kid ya! AirDrain is the only way to go Period ! Our Opinion: You can't flush an aggregate dog run when the turf is stretched on top of the aggregate. That's called permeation not drainage. YOU NEED TO FLUSH A DOG RUN, EOS ! #AirDrain#GreenRoofing , #K9 #PetReliefAreas , #DogKennels , #Playgrounds
