Outstandingly strong and versatile, TENAX has developed Radix to optimize the production of turf rolls.
Its specific mesh shape let the roots grow through and make the sod thicker in a shorter time. This allows more harvestings per year and decreases the risk of waste during collection.

TENAX A-2 is a polypropylene square mesh net used to wrap and protect turf rolls pallets or green waste like vine shoots. The net lets the sod rolls transpire and reduces waste during transportation.
