Dimensional HDPE guide

Choose HDPE by the work it needs to do.

Compare the HDPE behind Bamboo Shield, Sidewalk Shield, Grass Barrier and Pier Protector by thickness, width, installation geometry and total run.

Width datum48 in / 100%
  1. R060/W2460 mil × 24 in
  2. R080/W1880 mil × 18 in
  3. R080/W3080 mil × 30 in
  4. R100/W10100 mil × 10 in
  5. R100/W36100 mil × 36 in

Specify the depth

Four decisions before you order.

Start with the job and installation geometry. Then compare the physical profiles that fit those requirements.

  1. 1

    Name the application

    Begin with what the material needs to separate, redirect, edge, or wrap.

  2. 2

    Set the installed width

    Use the planned installation depth or required wrap coverage to narrow the available widths.

  3. 3

    Compare thickness

    Thickness changes the physical profile. Compare the options specified for the application and layout.

  4. 4

    Measure the continuous run

    Calculate the total footage, including the overlap or joining method in the project plan, then round up to the next 5 ft.

Material basics

What the dimensions mean.

Four decisions narrow the options

Start with the application, set the required installed width or depth, compare the thicknesses suited to that job, and measure the complete continuous run.

Protech cuts six HDPE profiles to length in one-foot increments. Each product page states the dimensions, formulation, minimum cut, and orderable footage before you add material to the cart.

For project-specific questions, send the application, planned depth or coverage height, layout dimensions, and total run through the contact page.

The complete range

Every roll, by brand.

Each row is one HDPE roll, linked to the brand that sells it. The 30 and 36 in rolls are also sold as Sidewalk Shield for trees near paving.
