Our turf halo kits are designed to replace the area around home plate to protect against heavy impact and wear. Traditionally, this area has tremendous traffic and grass has difficulty growing. Our halo kits are designed per the standard baseball field layout – 13’ radius from the back point of home plate.

Halo Kit Features

  • Green Turf (other colors available)
  • Spike-Resistant Durable 48 oz Nylon Face
  • 5 mm Foam Pad built-in for shock absorption
  • Total height with foam: 3/4″
  • UV Inhibitors
  • Water-Proof Foam
  • In-Laid Logos (optional)
  • Layout: No Wings / With Wings

All of our halos use a high quality, spike-resistant 48 oz. nylon surface over an all-weather 5 mm foam pad for shock-absorption and added density, and also include UV Inhibitors.

All Logos are In-Laid. This means the logo itself is made of colored turf, embedded into the mat – instead of just applied to the surface like paint. These logos will last until the turf itself wears out – approximately 10-20 years depending on exposure.

Basic Installation Instructions*

Your concrete pad should have no cracks or open joints. Easily fill in any joints with ‘mortar powder’ to create a smooth surface.

Look for all-weather urethane compatible adhesive.

  • Nail a string to the back tip of home plate, and proceed 13 feet out in a semi-circle. (Repeat step 1 for outside circumference at 18 feet (if you have a 5 ft halo kit) or 23 feet (if you have a 10 feet wide halo kit.))
  • Start bender board forms at 3 ft from foul line and pour concrete at 5 or 10 feet accordingly. Pour exactly 5 or 10 feet to prevent trimming.
  • Concrete needs to be 4 – 6 inches deep with adequate structural support to accommodate climate changes.
  • Let concrete cure a minimum of 28 days. Moisture will ruin glue if concrete is not fully cured.
  • Match pieces to fit diagram and weigh down center piece in place.
  • Use heavy weight to make sure turf lies perfectly still. Then proceed to fold one half-section up at a time for glue application.
  • Glue each one-half section at a time, using 50 – 100 pound rollers to roll out each section for proper adhesive bond. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each section.
  • Make sure glue has at least 24 hours to dry by covering with plastic or a field cover.
  • Turn off all watering systems for at least 48 hours after installation

Note: Halo with wings can be modified to be 5 or 10 feet long. The wings run along the baseline, not in the baseline.

 

Installation Tip – Your concrete pad should have NO cracks or open joints. Easily fill in any joints with ‘mortar powder’ to create a smooth surface.

Glue / Adhesive:

Our all-weather adhesive is the same glue our professional installers use. This glue ensures compatibility with the foam backing on the halo, and a firm stick in all climates nationwide. There may be econo glues available locally (look for urethane compatible), but if want what the pros use – this is it!

  • 5 ft Halo, No Wings: (2) 5 gallon pails – Nordot 34G*
  • 5 ft Halo, With Wings: (2) 5 gallon pails — Nordot 34G*
  • *Direct to concrete adhesive

In-laid Letters and Logo:

  • Letters are $302 each and made of colored turf embedded into the mat. Your team’s logo can also be added for an additional charge. We will contact you for more information when selected above.
