We keep our kiln dried sand in a indoor shed, so it is always clean and dry. ACI kiln dried sand, also known as Dried silica sand and Granusil is Washed beach / dune sand which has been put through a kiln to dry. Used to maintain synthetic grass in top condition. It is an infill sand for all types of synthetic grass, synthetic lawns, artificial turf and astroturf. It is also used as a gap sand for between pavers, foundry sand and as a fine aggregate in mortar and concrete.

Kiln dried sand serves multiple purposes for artificial turf. It weighs the turf down, keeping it flat and also prevents the turf from bubbling up and rippling due to expansion on hot days. It protects the turf, so it will last longer, and also keeps the turf pile in the upright position helping individual blades of grass stand up, so your turf looks good. It is a requirement for warranty purposes that Kiln Dried sand is used all faux grass products. 

Regular sand doesn't work well with artificial grass. Kiln dried sand is so clean that weeds can't grow in it, unlike regular sand. It also doesn't absorb water, so your turf dries fast after rain, and it's heavy, so the sand can't blow away.

The amount of sand required depending on the application and pile height of the grass you have selected. As an example, for setting up a new artificial turf tennis court you would need around 12-13 tonnes of ACI sand, but for topping up an existing court 1-2 tonnes would be needed.
