When it rains, water will drain through artificial grass instantly. Our GST products come in with drainage hole and averaged to drain more than 50 inches per hours which means very fast. Even our putting green products can drain more than 25 inches per hour. More important, you need to keep in mind that artificial grass will drain as well as its base drains. If you are installing artificial turf on a concrete surface and it is perfectly leveled, you might have issues with rain going through grass, water will get through the artificial grass easily and quickly, but if the base is solid and water can't go side ways, it will become an issue. So to conclude my point, artificial turf will drain water very effectively given proper base it was installed on; if installed on a solid base, make sure to have some slope to the surface for water to run side ways.

Don't worry, artificial grass is water-resistant. These are designed to ensure the free flow of rainwater through the perforated grass fiber
