TURF SHIELD TURF COVERS

Turf Shield® is simply the easiest, most affordable protection from winter’s effects you can give your critical areas. It’s also a real asset for grow-in stage during new construction or renovation projects. Woven from durable, translucent polyethylene, Turf Shield creates a thin, protective layer that acts as a small greenhouse, allowing the turf to breathe and retain its moisture while letting sunlight through.

Turf Shield performance is created from the permeable weave and translucent fibers. These fibers create tiny little prisms, multiplying and reflecting light throughout the weave. With enough space between this weave, the flow of air and moisture is controlled, creating a small greenhouse effect. Turf Shield uses this principle to provide simple, low-cost insurance against the negative impacts of winter. With our Turf Shield Arctic variant, the added Air-Flow layer adds additional protection and extreme spring green-up.

The effects of cold and freezing weather can be damaging to your prized greens and tees. Not just for predictable northern climates, the occasional freezes and frosts deep into southern areas can, and will, damage these high investment areas. Turf Shield reduces this risk, promotes faster spring growth, and helps create deeper root structures. In addition, Turf Shield reduces spring clean-up costs and controls the dissipation of any applied chemicals and fungicides.

The greenhouse properties of Turf Shield drastically enhances growth activity when days become longer and the turf comes out of dormancy. Even after snow and ice are gone, utilizing Turf Shield covers as a short-term action significantly jump starts early spring growth.

In addition to the standard turf cover layer, Turf Shield Arctic adds an additional “air-flow” layer that supports increased separation of cover to the turf, resists snow/ice pressure, and promotes greater passive air movement. It provides greater protection when heavy snow and ice layers are present for long periods which can damage plant health.
