Abstract: A woven fabric material including an array of machine direction yarns and cross-machine direction yarns. The array includes larger denier yarns arranged in an alternating pattern with smaller denier yarns in both the machine direction and the cross-machine direction. The array of machine direction yarns and cross-machine direction yarns is arranged to allow water to pass freely through the woven fabric material.
Abstract: A turf reinforcement fabric and a method for producing such a fabric by weaving a plurality of filaments in a predetermined pattern to form a three-dimensional structure formed to have a loft thickness without the application of heat to heat shrink the fibers, and/or formed with one or more fibers of increased thickness at peaks and valleys of the woven structure, and/or incorporating flame retardant and/or UV stabilizing fiber additives.
