Hi, what separates the turf from the tray? What keeps the turf from collapsing into the bottom and getting soaked in urine? Is there a middle grate?

Unfortunately, nothing! The turf sits directly on the tray, a feature I decided i don't care for. It got too tricky trying to empty the tray without making a mess. The tray is hard to maneuver through doors and i never got a technique down.

It didn't come with a tray. Nor did it have drainage holes; but I easily drilled holes in bottom before planting. I put pebbles in the bottom and topped with planter mix. I have not had any drainage problems...In fact, it hasn't 'drained' at all on the window ledge.

Thats about it, we take the turf outside and also the tray and wash it down. We have done it once in the shower, that wasnt so bad.It really works...I totally recommend it.

Just the contour of the bottom bowl, there's a lip where the grate sits, but if you bump or push it, it will move. Trust me, don't buy this thing. Good luck either way.

It has a vinyl tibe around the bottom you fill with water. I found that a little water holds it down ok. If it is windy it needs more water to keep it on the ground. Works great for my wife and I.

I feel your pain. I had to take mine apart twice. The smooth part of the smaller tube slides into the bigger tube. If you look at the grooved / notched end of the smaller tube, the edge is cut out like a bowl, so the ball sits in it more securely. The small tube fits very snugly into the big tube, so that when you set the height for your batter, the small tube doesn't slip down when they hit it. Good luck.

It is solid...you can remove the grate. I do not why you would, you are defeating the purpose of it, giving space for excessive urine.

Put the spikes all the way in because the water oozes out from them into the soil. It doesn't just drip (I think)

Hi Mollie! I keep degus in my cages...they have delicate little feet too. We just didn't put that bottom piece of grate above the tray. They tray has a little latch thing that keeps it from sliding out...but you could also drill a small hole in the tray and put some sort of lock there...but my Degus have never gotten out. Hope that was helpful!

Does not have a bottom. Sits on the ground. I put a layer of cardboard down first to kill the grass. I would recommend the product. Have been very happy with it.

It needs to be tethered to something. WHAT WILL BE UNDER THE ARTIFICIAL TURF?

The orange piece is placed under the tray. I suppose it acts as a level so that when there is too much liquid it comes up and you have to dump the tray. I don't really know why else it is there, but that's where mine sits :)

I have it in the grass area in the yard. I used some long spikes to hold it down. The grass has grown around it now so its secure.

I have a senior dog w/mobility problems so this is a constant fixture in my home. The grass piece is not permanently attached to the tray. I put puppy pads underneath the grass. It works well. However, I take the grass piece outside and hose it down at least once a week. During bad weather I take it to the shower and rinse it out there.

I have this problem as well. I have three ideas I am trying. The first one is I thing my compost is too wet. I believe the proper ratio is 10 brown to 1 green. So I have a lot of shreddings that I am adding to my compost. The second is that I am adding very small sticks in the hopes this will break them up. I have plenty around the yard. Sticks are brown material. The third is I think I may have been rotating too much. I believe rotating makes the balls. I used to do it every day. Now I do 3 rotations every 4 days and sometimes I go as long as a week. Hope this helps.

under the liner to help keep rocks or sticks from coming up through the liner. It also makes the bottom feel a little spongier. The liner we bought at the same time was crap and we have to replace it after a year, but I am considering another gorilla pad.

One of the sections has a bottom and sides.. not complete sides but enough for the balls to be kept there
