Description
The Platipus™ rootball fixing system, including optional Plati-Mat™, remains the preferred method of securing rootballed and containerised semi-mature trees.
The ease of installation and lack of unsightly guy wires makes it the first choice of customers. Over the past two decades, Platipus™ have developed an extensive range of unique underground fixing solutions to suit most applications.
| Kit | Tree Height | Tree Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| RF0P | 2.5m | 12cm |
| RF1P | 2-4.5m | 12-25cm |
| RF2P | 4.5-7.5m | 25-45cm |
| RF3P | 7.5-12m | 45-75cm |
| RF4P | 12m+ | 75cm+ |
The Plati-Mat™ allows secure positioning of newly transplanted trees, whilst offering major benefits over traditional root support systems. Available in five standard sizes, the Plati-Mat™ can be tailored to suit most rootball dimensions. This significant development allows faster installation and provides a greater contact surface area at the top of the rootball or container grown tree.
