BUNKERMAT SAND RETENTION & DRAINAGE MATTING

CREATE PLAYABLE GOLF BUNKERS ALL YEAR ROUND

Why choose Bunkermat?

Golf course architects and designers want to create visually appealing bunkers that sustain dramatic shapes and structures so that golfers can play throughout the year on challenging courses. 
Bunkermat is designed to retain sand on steep bunker faces and restrict the migration of rocks and fine-grained soil particles from the underlying soil into the bunker, which would otherwise contaminate the sand quality and make the bunker unplayable. The bunker sand settles into the fibres becoming trapped within the open structure of the mat profile, while allowing internal water movement. Once this occurs, there is little or no downward movement of the sand. This results in the sand being held to create steeper bunker faces and dramatic shapes and structures, while keeping the playing surface intact.

Bunkermat provides:

• Reduced installation and maintenance costs due to high tensile strength and flexibility of material used, allowing Bunkermat to withstand the weight of heavy wet sand without tearing or slumping
• Prevention of bunker washouts and ability to construct bunkers with steeper inclines
• Long-term reliability as the synthetic mesh backing ensures that the Bunkermat will not tear when the bunker sand is raked
• Durability as it is resistant to rot, mildew and degradation and unaffected by chemicals normally used on golf courses
• Proven UV resistance due to stabilised fibres ensures that no degradation occurs from exposure to sunlight - as a result, Bunkermat requires only a 20mm covering of sand, creating an almost maintenance free bunker face
• Proven effectiveness as it has been successfully applied on both championship and public courses around the world
