Drainage is one of the major benefits of Saf-T-Turf. Engineered to provide the same feel and give as natural grass, the synthetic turf is installed over a cushioned base that has built-in drainage channels. Embedded in rubber, the artificial fibers are springy and designed to resist slickness from moisture.
It goes on saying more about how great it is...
