    this is roughly how i cut a sheet ...you really need to make paper templates and lay them out.......

    note: the diamonds show the direction of the turf, you would have to arrange differently if you want the diamonds the other way

    my best tip for doing turf is scuff the back of it with course sandpaper before you put the contact adhesive on, makes a huge difference to how well and how long it sticks down for, heres a guide for doing a kit including footholds, some good tips though, good luck!

    Use two coats of adhesive on the turf and one coat on the ski... make sure the adhesive is tack free before putting together, usually about 1/2 hour after coat.

    A rubber mallet and heat gun will be your friends.
