Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this matting be cut to fit custom tray sizes?

Yes, the matting is easy to trim to your specific dimensions using standard scissors.

How often should I clean the matting?

It is recommended to give it a light rinse during the season if debris builds up and a thorough wash before storing it for winter.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

It is designed specifically for greenhouse staging where it is protected from rain and extreme wind, which would otherwise wash out the moisture.

What happens if the matting gets too dirty?

Excessive dirt or soil particles can block the capillaries; a thorough rinse or soak in water usually restores its performance.

Can I reuse this for several years?

Yes, if the matting is cleaned, dried, and stored away from damp conditions, it can be used for multiple growing seasons.

Troubleshooting

Matting is drying out too quickly

Ensure the matting is not exposed to direct, intense airflow and verify that the water source is consistently topping up the moisture level.

Water is pooling on the surface

Check that your greenhouse staging is level; adjust the bench legs if necessary to encourage even distribution across the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cleaner and lighter than traditional sand or gravel
  • Promotes faster and more uniform root development
  • Highly durable recycled fibre construction
  • Easy to customize with standard scissors

Cons

  • Requires manual cleaning for multi-season reuse
  • Limited to a 56cm width, which may require multiple strips for wide benches
  • Needs monitoring to ensure it remains damp for optimal capillary action

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your matting, measure your staging surface and cut the material to size using sharp household scissors. Ensure the surface underneath is level so water does not pool in a single corner. For maximum efficiency, ensure the matting is in full contact with the underside of your plant trays. When maintaining the product, it is essential to rinse the matting periodically to remove fine roots or debris that can clog the fibers. Between seasons, allow the matting to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before rolling it up for storage to ensure long-term usability.
