SKU MM-HDPE-18-40-100

The fence line grass barrier is made in the USA from 100% High-density polyethylene (HDPE). Available in 40 mil, 60 mil and 80 ml (a mil is a 1,000th of an inch). The plastic is also resistant to insect and rodent damage, will not rot/mildew.

The barrier is typically installed laying flat under the fence to prevent weed growth and give a clean line of delineation at the fence. It is made in both 10” and 18” strips, most customer choose the 18” option and then cut to fit onsite to have the most material to work and customize to their fence line and surrounding objects.

This material is stocked in Kansas City and typically ships within one business day.

Material Thickness:
40 mil = 3/64”
60 mil = 1/16”
80 mil = 5/64”

 

Note: Our HDPE plastic is only available in roll widths up to 96 inches (8 feet).

Please note that we are unable to provide custom roll lengths.

Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method (for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

    HDPE Plastic - An Overview

    High Density Polyethylene or HDPE is an incredible thermoplastic polymer that's made from petroleum. This material is considered one of the very best and most flexible materials on the planet. HDPE is used to make many products including water bottles, milk jugs, bottles for shampoo, and bleach bottles. It's also used to make cutting boards and even used in piping systems.

    Outside of being used in the food industry, HDPE is famous for its incredible tensile strength and amazing strength-to-density ratio. HDPE offers a high-impact resistance and melting point. Outside of standard applications, it's used for many different products such as:

    Plastic food containers

    HDPE Food Containers

    • Plastic surgery for skeletal and facial reconstruction
    • Wood plastic components including plastic lumber
    • Containers for food and beverages
    • Snowboards
    • 3-D printing filament
    • Shoe Lasts

    Shoe last is the beginning of every shoe. The last is at the center of making a shoe and working out from that point.

    The Benefits Of HDPE Plastic

    High-density polyethylene sheets offer low maintenance and are safe as well as long-lasting. The textured surfaces on food containers make the containers easy to grip and hold food safely. This plastic is very easy to mold and melt down making it perfect for recyclable items due to its ability for reshaping or changing its form. In many ways, HDPE excels beyond many other materials.

    Due to its high melting point, HDPE will remain rigid until it reaches very high temperatures. Once it reaches its melting point, HDPE can be effectively molded for use in many other products and applications including cutting boards, plastic lumber, and corrosion-resistant piping to name a few.

    HDPE's Resistant Factors

    HDPE resists mildew, mold, and rotting making it the best material for underground pipes used to deliver water. Because it can be sterilized through boiling, it's perfect for food and beverage containers. Also, HDPE can withstand most strong mineral acids and is super resistant to natural chemicals found in soil. This material is immune to most common chemicals, solvents, acids, detergents, cleaning fluids, and water.

    Its Considerable Strength To Density Ratio

    Its density ranges from 0.93 to 0.97 g making HDPE's density somewhat higher than LDPE or low-density polyethylene. Its linear structure means the material has little branching offering a strong intermolecular force and tensile strength over LDPE.

    An intermolecular force represents a type of interaction that takes place between molecules. In other words, a 60-gram HDPE container will safely carry over a gallon of liquid which is approximately eight pounds of weight.

    Can Be Recycled

    This is probably one of the most important factors about HDPE. Every day of every week, thousands of plastic items end up in landfills. Because HDPE is recyclable, it keeps a lot of non-biodegradable waste out of landfills and reduces plastic production by up to 50%. If you want a safer, environmentally friendlier product, HDPE is the answer for you.

    Why You Should Use HDPE

    HDPE has quickly started replacing heavier materials and helped many companies and consumers looking for sustainable and affordable products to choose from. Due to its ability to be reshaped, remolded, and turned into other products, HDPE is the perfect combination of strength and lower costs while remaining environmentally friendly.

    As consumers are discovering HDPE Plastic, the products made from this plastic are flying off the shelves. Consumers are concerned about the tons of waste being dumped into landfills and want a better solution. HDPE is providing that solution.
