Our company supplies the following types of protective fabrics
LANDSCAPE FABRIC
Landscape fabric is used for weed control, a central element in achieving low-maintenance landscaping. Effective weed control means a reduction in actual weeding or in herbicide use-both unsavory landscaping tasks. Thermally spunbonded fabrics are said to be more effective than woven or needle punched geotextiles in preventing fine roots and rhizomes from penetrating the fabric. While woven fabrics are very strong, they offer many spaces for weeds to penetrate. Needle-punched fabrics have loose threads of material that plants can easily grow through. As for thermally spunbonded fabrics, these have fibers fixed in place, keeping roots from penetrating.
WIND PROTECTION FABRIC
Knitted windshield constructed from a commercial grade of U.V. stabilized yarn are often used to protect crops & structures from wind damage. Air exhaust deflection fabrics are otherwise most useful in odor control. These are often seen in swine and dairy house production. Wind protection fabric is available in a variety of aesthetically pleasing colors so structures won’t by an eyesore on the farm.
FROST COVER FABRICS
Different climates require varying levels of protection. Used primarily by professional growers for the protection of plants and golf course greens & tee boxes, frost cover fabrics help protect vegetation in wintertime, or from sudden drops in temperature during unseasonable weather, which can cause extensive damage to landscaping and crops.
SHADE CLOTH
Keeping the sun from burning vegetation is critical in farming. Shade cloths, most often manufactured from a commercial grade of U.V. stabilized yarn, offer the protection needed for more sensitive plants and for several other cultures in very hot regions or times of the year. Specific applications of shade cloths include shading ginseng, tropical ornamental plants, ferns, crops of all sorts and even livestock.
TARPAULINS
A tarpaulin, or tarp, is a large sheet of strong, flexible, water-resistant or waterproof material, usually coated with plastic or latex. Tarps have multiple uses, including shelter from the elements (i.e. wind, rain, or sunlight), use as a ground sheet for equipment, or covering for protecting vehicles or wood piles. They are also used on outdoor market stalls to provide some protection from the weather. Tarps often have reinforced grommets at the corners and along the sides to form attachment points for rope.
