GrassTrac High Tensile Strength - 3425 lbs/ft

SPECIFICATIONS for Grasstrac®

Mesh Track comprises a woven hexagonal wire netting, manufactured out of Bezinal coated steel wire and reinforced in transverse direction at regular intervals of 245 mm by flat alternately twisted wires interwoven into the mesh.

The open mesh design of Grasstrac® turf system allows rain water to percolate freely into the soil. This virtually eliminates the need for underground stormwater management storage systems required under large paved areas to meet strenuous EPA runoff regulations. And for sites that get more regular traffic passes, consider paving only the drive aisles with the parking areas surfaced in turf supported with Grasstrac® to help meet runof regulations.

Bezinal, a product of BEKAERT Manufacturing.BEZINAL COATING is an alloy of Zinc and Aluminium which gives a corrosion resistance that is up to 3 times better than Zinc alone. This is extensively tested by means of Salt Spray Tests in an SO2 atmosphere. Mesh Track is manufacured by means of a hexagonal weaving machine.
