Netlon Turf systems

Grass is the most aesthetically pleasing surface for large areas. It does, however, have some natural disadvantages - particularly when subjected to heavy wear and bad weather conditions.

Netlon Turf Systems has developed a unique range of technologies and products to improve the capabilities of (predominantly) grassed areas to withstand heavy and intensive wear.  These include, Netlon Advanced Turf®, Netpave® 50 and the new Netpave 25 grass paving systems as well as the ever popular Netlon Turfguard.  This unique range of products allows Netlon to help you find a solution for problems with ground and grass stabilization.

Netlon Turf Systems, a Division of Tensar International Ltd is an acknowledged leader in the development and application of mesh products for horticulture, civil engineering, landscaping, and stormwater management. 

The Simple Facts

• Provides rapid drainage increasing infiltration rates up to 90% -
  the turf is never saturated
• Increases surface traction
• Provides a consistent, safe, stable surface
• Provides a built-in resistance to soil compaction
• Improves soil moisture retention
• Improves safety by reducing surface hardness by up to 33%
• Reduces divot size by up to 50%
• Reduces divot recovery time by up to 50%
• Increases ball bounce consistency
• Increases vehicle load-bearing capacity by up to 500%

Applications include:

• Turf parking
• Emergency vehicle access

Advanced Turf Mesh Elements
Netlon Advanced Turf consists of a specially prepared rootzone into which is blended thousands of small 2” X 4” interlocking polypropylene mesh elements. BAyr Root Turf or seed is used to establish grass cover.  As the grass roots develop they penetrate through the mesh to form a deep anchored root system that is very stable.  The result is a free-draining natural grass surface with no visible structures that are capable of supporting fire access routes. Netlon Advanced Turf is supported by over a decade of civil engineering and turf research. (please contact us for further information)

Netpave 50
Manufactured from 100% recycled polyethylene, the Netpave 50 system provides an attractive, easy to use, durable solution for permeable parking and access routes. Netpave 50 units are two inches thick and are connected by a rapid fastening system (lugs and slots). These unique flexible elements can be easily installed on undulating surfaces and gradients. Netpave 50 can be filled with turf or chipped stones in the cellular structure. Alternatively it can be filled with gravel and the cellular structure will retain the stone and prevent loss or displacement. Netpave 50 can be used as permeable high load-bearing areas when hard surface requirements are overused. (please contact us for further information)

Netpave 25
he Netpave 25 is also manufactured from 100% recycled polyethylene and provides the unique benefit of flexibility and durability with a rapid fastening system.  Netpave 25 requires no substructure or excavation and is designed to be used on top of existing surfaces to provide a level of protection to the turf. It is simply laid onto the turf surface and is ready to be used. As it is only one inch thick, it can be almost invisible after 2-3 months of a grass-growing season. It is ideal for paths, parking applications and other trafficked applications where regular wear would soon cause erosion and damage to the grass. Although not designed for temporary usage, it can be laid temporarily and removed if only required for short periods of time.

Turfguard
Turfguard is an extruded polyethylene mesh which is tough, flexible and long lasting.  It is designed to be placed on the existing turf surface and is suitable for occasional access on stable ground. As the turf develops, the plants intertwine with the mesh to provide a completely natural appearance and permanent protection against wear.
