Frequently Asked Questions
Can my dog dig through turf protection mesh?
While no ground cover is completely dig-proof against a determined dog, turf protection mesh does a good job of deterring digging by creating a physical barrier just below or at the surface of the grass. Dogs will typically avoid areas where they feel resistance underfoot. According to the American Kennel Club, digging behavior often stems from boredom, prey instinct, or an attempt to escape, so pairing turf protection mesh with proper training and exercise will give you the best results.
Is turf protection mesh safe for pets and children?
Yes. Tenax turf protection mesh is non-toxic to animals and humans, making it safe to use in pet areas, dog runs, and spaces where children play. It is made from HDPE and EVA polymers and polyolefin meshes, and is 100% recyclable.
When is the best time to install turf protection mesh?
Turf protection mesh should be installed during the spring or fall growing season for the best results. This allows the grass to grow through and around the mesh, creating a stronger hold that better withstands traffic and pet activity over time.
How is turf protection mesh installed?
Roll the mesh out over the area you want to protect and secure it to the ground using Tenax staples or ground anchors. The mesh can be cut to fit any shape or size and can be layered or overlapped for added reinforcement in high-traffic zones.
Can turf protection mesh be reused?
Yes. Tenax turf protection mesh is built to last across multiple seasons. Its UV-stabilized construction keeps its green color and holds up well even after extended outdoor use.
Does turf protection mesh affect grass growth?
No, it actually supports it. The open mesh design allows sunlight, air, water, and nutrients to reach the soil and grass roots freely, so your grass can continue to grow while the surface stays protected.
