Turface MoundMaster Block Installation

[@Ryannaut_g]

Shouldn’t they randomize block size to create a more human-batting box for ball hitting stick experience?

How do you soften up the clay brick when they are very dry?

[@TurfaceAthletics]

The key is re-hydrating the blocks. If they are in the ground, you just need to flood the blocks and give them time to absorb the water. Depending on how dry they have gotten, it will take a couple of days. If they are not installed, the best thing to do is to put them in a wheelbarrow and again flood them and allow time for them to absorb the water.

[@TurfaceAthletics]

Batters boxes are 6" away from home plate. Please refer to out Top 10 Tips for Field Maintenance Brochure for further detail - www.turface.com/sites/default/files/_media/resource/top10tips_a003-43586.pdf

How long does it last?

[@TurfaceAthletics]

It depends on many factors; however, proper installation and maintenance is the key to extending the life of the blocks. Make sure to keep a tarp on them to keep them moist and pliable.

Can you use a force plate compactor instead of a tamp?

[@TurfaceAthletics]

Yes, you can. It saves a lot of time and energy over using a hand tamp. The process will be the same for blocks or bagged clay. The key is to make sure that you are forming a solid sheet of clay regardless of the type of clay you are using.

​@@TurfaceAthletics Thank you for the response. Can you use the force plate compactor instead of a tamp on day to day repairs after games? Also is it okay to use a force plate compactor in high traffic areas when simply adding additional infield mix?

[@TurfaceAthletics]

@@perfect1150 Yes, you can use a plate compactor for regular maintenance. It will work whether you are working with infield mix or mound clay. It is a great tool and a huge labor and time saver.
