Anybody ever used the plastic mesh stuff sold on eBay?
Advertised to let cars and horses walk upon without poaching.

Thought I could lay some silage bales on some for outwintering calves.

How much per acre is it?

 

[Lincs Lass]

Did a very small area to park a car on ,its supposed to be buried at ground level and filled with gravel or spread the soil back over then seed it

Different types are different costs.
The ones in the eBay advert are just rolls which are pinned down 30m long

Click together ones which also require back filling with sand are more expensive again but presumably last longer?

Not sure about the one above, but I parked on some of this the other day

I thought it was pretty good in terms of quality and function, I think I'm going to get done for a grass parking area I have. Some of the cheaper stuff doesn't look like it will last very long.

Looks excellent but probably too expensive to feed cattle on.
Wondered if some of the mesh could be pulled up and re-used with a forklift.

Nobody seen any used stuff for sale?

Having taken on some ground that has had that bloody stuff on it, I have reached new levels of loathing for the carpet of shite.

The lambs are trying to eat it, the machinery can't mow over it, and it looks hideous.

Cheers CornishLleyn,
Can't you just pull it up with a loader? Maybe should wait till winter?
