Fake grass recommendations

Hello, first post 😬
We are wanting to convert a currently shingle area of our garden into a play area for our daughter. With a climbing frame.
looking for recommendations for quality fake grass, that doesn’t become too hot to play on, for the play area.
Name/brand of grass appreciated.
Also did you put underlay beneath the grass? Does it drain well when it rains?
Thank you so much

Don't do it. Fake grass is horrible dirty stuff. Gets hot and isn't as soft as real grass. Hopefully it'll be banned for domestic use eventually.

Wrong forum OP. Fake grass is an abomination!

@CJCoopz op your likely to get piled on fir asking that question.

Anyway do you have pets if so there's a different way of laying the base and what to use for the base.

Is there a reason you want to use fake grass?

Pile-on? I'd say it was a bit cluesless posting for advice about plastic/fake grass on a Gardening Board 😂

Best recommendation is not to use it.''

Exactly! fake grass looks awful and is bad for the environment.
