Should I install my Hydro-turf first then place my deck mounted hatches and seat bases over it or should I install the hardware first, and then just cut around it? I am thinking the latter would be a BIG PIA and that I should just install the turf first. Plus the former would give a cleaner look. What are your opinions or suggestions on the matter? I am leaning towards turf first. I do have grooves in my turf. I could make a template first.......????
Here is an example of what I have going on. The hardware has not been permanently mounted yet.

Here is the grooved turf. Will it cause issues if the hardware is sitting on top of it such as water leaking into it (like rain or washing it out).
