Turf Reinforcement Mesh
Turf Reinforcement Mesh is a tough extruded polymer grid for reinforcing grassed areas used by vehicles and pedestrians. For best results, Turf Reinforcement 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 that will withstand the weight of lightweight vehicles and heavy pedestrian use.

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. Unroll the Turf reinforcement Mesh over the area to be protected and secure the initial end with Metal Fixing J-Pins or U-Pins. While under tension, place additional pins 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 Fixing Pin 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). 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 Turf Protection Mesh is being laid over clay soil, a suitable drainage system should be installed. If the ground is particularly soft, please seek the advice of a professional. Turf Protection Mesh does not solve drainage problems.
