Grass Protection Mesh - US GP
Grass Protection Mesh is a heavy-duty extruded polymer grid designed to protect and reinforce grassed areas subject to vehicle traffic. They work with an imposed loading of up to 8 tons per axle (subject to ground conditions). Once established, Grass Protection Mesh will protect the grass roots from damage and help prevent rutting.
For best results, Grass Protection Mesh should be installed in the spring so the grass will grow quickly through the grid and form a root mass around the mesh filaments. The area will soon resume its natural appearance and provide a stable surface for heavy weight vehicles

Installation instructions: Cut the grass short and ensure the area is as level as possible and clear of any protruding stones or other debris. Fill in any hollows with a mixture of fine topsoil and sharp sand. Starting from the top of the roll, unroll the mesh over the area to be protected. Secure the initial roll end with Fixing Pins or sod staples. Place additional pins/staples every yard on each side and then secure the opposite end of the roll. If the area to be protected is wider than 6.7 feet, butt the edges of the rolls together and secure by placing a pin/staple across each edge. Finally, pin down any area of the mesh that is not in contact with the grass. If the mesh is laid over bare earth, apply a suitable grass seed and fertilizer and dress at approximately 6 lbs / 100 sf (or as specified). Parking bays and access route directions can be delineated using Parking Markers. These highly visible marker pegs are easily knocked into the ground and will guide drivers to the right location ensuring that optimum use is made of the grassed parking area. Vehicles and pedestrians should be kept off the area until the grass has grown at least 1 inch and has been mowed twice with the blade height set high. The area can then be rolled if required.
Notes: If the Grass Protection Mesh is being laid over clay soil, a suitable drainage system should be installed to allow for removal of surface water. If the ground is particularly soft, please seek the advice of a professional. Installation of Grass Protection Mesh does not solve drainage problems.
