Which Types of Drags Are Suitable for a Geotextile or Fiber Footing Blend?
Maintaining your footing with a compatible tool is one of the most important things that you can do to on a day-to-day basis to get the most out of your footing. The proper drag type will also prolong the lifespan of the surface to protect your investment.
Let’s look at the most critical components that make a drag work well with a synthetic surface.
1. Drag can be raised and lowered so that the working depth can be adjusted.
2. At least one row of tines or thinner teeth – these will loosen up the footing and help keep the materials well mixed together.
3. A roller on the back – the roller re-compresses the footing to leave a consistent & stable yet slightly fluffy surface layer for the ideal finish. Without a roller, the drag will leave a looser finish that is less ideal.
Here are some examples of types of Drags that will NOT work well with a Synthetic Surface
A chain drag is not a suitable option for maintaining a geotextile or fiber surface.
Rather than mixing the materials into the sand as desired, it will have a tendency to pull the fibers up out of the sand and they will end up bunched up on the surface.
