Brand: Velo Turf

Company: Emu Health Australia Pty Ltd.

For many Australian households and professional landscapers/installers, traditional synthetic turf has always been a double-edged sword. While it eliminates the hassle of mowing, using it in pet-friendly spaces often leads to frustrating pain points: trapped urine, fermenting odors, and slow drainage.

As an Australian-founded and designed brand under Emu Health Australia Pty Ltd., Velo Turf introduces the next-generation solution—Woven Pet Turf. By re-engineering synthetic grass from the base up, Velo Turf brings a true cleanliness revolution to Australian backyards and pet spaces.

1. The Core Innovation: What is Woven Backing?

To understand why woven turf is vastly superior for pets, we first need to look under the surface of traditional turf.

Traditional Synthetic Turf: Relies on a thick, heavy latex or SBR rubber backing. Liquid drainage depends entirely on sparse perforated holes punched into the backing. If urine doesn't hit a hole directly, it sits at the bottom of the turf, ferments, and produces a sharp ammonia smell.

Velo Turf Woven Turf: Utilizes a PET woven grid mesh combined with PE grass blades in a machine-woven structure. It completely eliminates heavy black rubber backing, resulting in a fully open, mesh-like structure.

2. Ultra-Fast Drainage—No More "Urine Puddles"

Whether facing heavy Australian downpours or daily pet waste, liquid passes unobstructed through the backing directly into the sub-base, dramatically reducing surface pooling.

3. Stops Odors at the Source

The root cause of turf odor is trapped urine. Velo Turf’s open-woven design prevents liquids from clinging to the backing. Paired with regular water rinsing and pet-friendly de-odorizers, maintaining a fresh atmosphere is effortless.

4. Extremely Flexible & Easy to Install

Without rigid latex backing, the turf is light, highly pliable, and easy to trim. It conforms seamlessly to balconies, irregular yards, and rooftop spaces.

5. Tailored Pet Comfort

With an optimal 30mm pile height, it retains the soft, natural feel of real grass without being too long for solid waste cleanup—making it ideal for backyard dog runs, pet doors, and boarding facilities.

6. Built for Harsh Australian Sun

Engineered for Australia's intense climate, Velo Turf products undergo strict UV resistance testing to ensure they won't fade, degrade, or become brittle over time.
