That is a courser version of it (plastic strips, instead of closed fiber loops -- similar to Berber carpets, which is the type of Indoor/Outdoor Carpet I use). I used a 9' x 6' piece of the Berber-like, green carpet, as the base covering for my Ping Pong Table, and it is great stuff. If it gets dirty, I vacuum it; if that doesn't work, I take it outside, and I hose it off.
To make matching hills, I took the 1' x 5' strip I cut off of the end (my Ping Pong Table is 9' x 5'), and glued it to packing foam pieces (open cell, the type computers are packed in), cut to shape. To cover the sloping sides of the foam, I glued on green felt. It is not perfect, nor is it 'realistic' looking, but it works, and it is inexpensive. These foam-based hills will not slide around on top of the carpet, which is helpful.
They make the closed loop, Berber type, in various colors: green, brown, black, and blue. These can be used for various types of terrain, if desired. The carpet is long-wearing, and it is easy to clean. I use the area rug anti-slip material beneath my carpet, on top of my Ping Pong Table. This stuff is meant to be used beneath area rugs on hardwood floors, to keep it from sliding. It is inexpensive, washable (over time, it loses its tackiness, and it won't hold the carpet in place, but laundry washing it with towels, brings it back like new -- best to air-dry it), and quite easy to cut to size. It should be fairly easy to apply paint to these carpets, to create a mottled appearance, but I chose to keep mine uniform. Cheers!
