fitting advice natural sisal flooring

[cheekymonkey101]

hi guys,

i have a large natural sisal rug that i'm thinking of cutting up to carpet a room.

few questions:
- do i need to use an underlay (it's onto concrete floor)
- when cutting will the edge fray?
- do i need to us grippers? (any special type)
- assume as natural best to let aclimatise in room first to shrink / expand before cutting

any other tips?

Be prepared to throw when it gets dirty as it's near impossible to clean.
