Stop Bamboo anti-rhizome barrier STOP-R HDPE 0.75 x 25 metres

This Stop Bamboo Anti-Rhizome barrier STOP-R HDPE, made of particularly durable semi-rigid material, is a highly effective barrier for containing the powerful and colonising rhizomes that giant or highly invasive bamboos develop. The resistance of this material, its thickness, and its height make it impassable. This physical barrier protects your walls, terraces, paved areas, paving stones, pipes and buildings, and also prevents the invasion of your neighbours' gardens.

This black anti-rhizome barrier is made of 2mm thick high-density polythene (1900 gr/m2), 70cm high, and 25m long. It is flexible enough to take on the shape you want to give to your barrier, but rigid enough to stay in place. It is unalterable and withstands time as well as the hard tips of giant bamboo rhizomes. Insensitive to heat and humidity, this barrier has a long lifespan. It guides rhizomes and roots towards the surface of the soil inside the delimited area: any rhizome encountering this obstacle will change its growth upwards. Once emerged, these 'undesirables' must be pruned and eliminated to prevent them from crossing the barrier. This barrier is 100% recyclable.

Installation of an anti-rhizome barrier:

- Dig a planting hole deep enough (60-65cm deep) or a trench of equivalent depth to be able to position the anti-rhizome barrier.

- Bury the barrier at a 15° angle relative to the vertical, leaving it protruding 5 to 10cm above the surface of the soil.

- Do not place a barrier at the bottom of the planting area.

- Securely attach the two edges of the barrier with an aluminium fastening to close the enclosure tightly and prevent roots and rhizomes from slipping into any space.

- Place some soil outside of this barrier for aesthetic reasons, to hide the part that emerges from the ground.
