40mil Thick
Black HDPE

“Ideal for Bamboo”

This 40 mil high density polyethylene product prevents the unwanted spread of bamboo and other invasive species. The smooth surface of the Root Barrier acts as a root stop, diverting the rhizome and preventing unchecked growth. Root Barrier is rigid enough to stand without support in a trench while being flexible enough to wrap around corners, pipes, and other site features. The material cuts with a utility knife but is strong enough to resist root penetration.
