Underlay Fabric

Underlay and weed cloth

Flexgardin is a supplier of Phormiflex underlay fabric, the world’s leading manufacturer of woven underlay for open-field, cucumber, and tomato greenhouses. Underlay can be ordered in white, black, or other colors. The underlay is sewn together on site to achieve a large carpet without loose overlap.

White underlay is primarily used for tomato and cucumber production, where the underlay is used for up to 10 years. The long period of use contributes to a transition away from year-to-year use of plastic and thus helps the climate in the long run. The white underlay has the advantage of reflecting light up to the plants while allowing water to pass through. Black underlay is primarily used as a weed barrier for open fields, which is effective in keeping weeds away.
