]]>Dogs love to dig for entertainment through boredom and lack of socialisation. Terriers and other working dog breeds will dig as it’s there natural instinctive behaviour and were bred to hunt and always need a ‘job’ to keep happy! Puppies especially have tons of energy so digging holes in your garden is a great way to expel that energy and of course be mischievous! Dogs can also dig due to behaviour and anxiety issues.
To curb this behaviour there are a few options you have such as:
- Supervising your dog and when it starts to dig cause a distraction
- Provide more mental stimulation
- Provide more exercise
- Teaching your dog a command such as ‘stop’ every time it goes to dig
Our turf protection mesh is also a great preventative, this diamond plastic mesh is light and easy to lay down onto existing grassed areas and pinned down with our U pins. The three dimensional structure ensure effective anchoring of the grass roots and the small hole size prevents the dogs claws from digging up the grass. Once the grass has grown through the mesh, it will be hidden guaranteeing your ‘green’ garden again and a lawn mower can be used without problems.
This mesh to prevent dogs from digging is non-toxic so doesn’t cause any harm and has also been evaluated and approved by professional dog trainers.

]]>Our local zoo, Chester Zoo has used our plastic turf reinforcement mesh as a fence surrounding some animal enclosures making it a dual purpose product. From the pictures below, the wooden fence with the extra reinforcement of our plastic protection mesh makes it the ideal safe, aesthetically pleasing fencing with the ‘green’ look it blends into the natural environment. The fencing has a thickness of 5mm and due to its main use for grass protection it has a high roll weight of 640gm/m2, making it a heavy duty product doubling the weight of our other plastic fencing we do. Its rot resistant and chemically inert and 100% recyclable. The fencing has been up for a few years now and these pictures were only taken a few days ago so you can see the quality and longevity of the product.
The picture below shows a comparison to some metal fencing which has been used, as you can see its rusted and doesn’t look as natural, making the environment look more captive. Whereas our plastic mesh has still retained its colour and structure and blends perfectly into the greenery behind the fencing.
Chester Zoo have also made use of a lot of natural screening, such as bamboo, brushwood and willow, the photo collage below shows examples of it being used internally in animal enclosures, externally on gates and as screening in front of the main fencing.
