GrassProtecta® an improved heavy duty thick polyethylene mesh for reinforcing grassed surfaces prone to wear, rutting and smearing. The oscillated mesh structure has been designed to increase traction and improve slip resistance by up to 97% compared to standard straight oriented meshes.
Applications include; residential access and parking spaces, pedestrian and cycle paths, light aircraft landing pads, equestrian surface reinforcement, golf cart paths, R.V. parks, playgrounds, environmentally sensitive areas, overflow parking lots. Manufactured from high density polyethylene, the thermoplastic grass reinforcement mesh incorporates a blowing agent which gives the mesh a rougher surface thus creating a less slippery surface.
The grass protection mesh is colored green, UV stabilized, rot resistant, chemically inert and therefore provides a long term reinforcement solution.
GrassProtecta® Turf Reinforcement Mesh is laid directly onto the grass surface and secured every yd by steel U-pins. If the surface is uneven, then measures should be made level and any depressions filled with a mixture of sand, topsoil & seed. The grass roots will quickly grow through the mesh apertures and will intertwine with the mesh filaments, creating a very strong, stable and reinforced surface. The grass protection system ensures the grassed area will soon resume its natural appearance as the mesh disappears beneath the surface, and will immediately be capable of supporting regular vehicular traffic. Ideal for parking a car on grass.
