TurfProtecta™ is a black or green, lightweight polyethylene mesh for grass reinforcement where occasional light vehicular or pedestrian use is required for car parking or access routes. Supplied in 2m x 30m rolls and in two grades, 'Standard’ and ‘Heavy’ as determined by the application the mesh is ideal for reinforcing grassed surfaces prone to wear and smearing which can create a muddy surface incapable of being used.

Manufactured from 100% recycled high density polyethylene, the mesh is UV stabilised and simple to install; after cutting the grass short, the mesh is unrolled and pinned to the surface using metal U-Pins or plastic pegs. By allowing plants to grow through the mesh apertures, the sward intertwines with the mesh filaments creating a strong, discreetly reinforced surface, limiting damage and reducing soil compaction. It is advisable to allow the grass to fully establish before the area is used to create a stronger reinforced surface (this may take only a few weeks to a few months depending on the grass growing season). The grass can however be mown, rolled and fertilised as usual during this period. TurfProtecta™ can be installed onto existing grassed surfaces or newly landscaped areas, for both permanent or temporary applications.

It is strongly recommended that installation be carried out during the growing season to allow a strong interlock between the mesh and the grass roots.
