Curlex® GreenSavers are natural excelsior blankets that provide winter protection against drying winds, frost penetration, grass desiccation, and freezing cold on all golf course greens. Curlex® GreenSavers maintain a more constant surface temperature and allow excellent air circulation. Curlex® GreenSavers minimize heat build up and the freeze thaw cycle, which helps to establish quality greens early in the season, thus extending the playing season by two to three weeks.
How does it work?
- Allows better air circulation, which creates a mroe constant surface temperature by preventing heat build-up.
- Helps prevent grass dessication (drying out) on high, windswept greens.
- Provides insulating properties help reduce frost penetration.
- Helps establish quality greens early in the spring, thus extending the playing season by two to three weeks.
- Maintains a more constant temperature, thus minimizing the freeze/thaw cycle's negative effects.
Easy Installation
- Anchor GreenSaver blanket with 6” U-shaped wire staples at about 6’ spacing.
- Do not overlap blankets.
- Install as late as possible. Soil temperature should be in the low 40’s and grass must be dormant.
- Remove blankets after danger of 20 degree weather has passed.
- When stored properly Curlex® GreenSavers can be used for years.
