"Sand daM™ has really helped us in preparing for the Texas Open. It helps prevent washouts from heavy rains that historically occur weeks before the event.”

How much do you spend to maintain sand-eroded bunkers?

With Sand daM™, you can prevent major sand particle movement from rainfall or irrigation runoff, and save yourself time and money in the process.

Made of non-biodegradable polyester and synthetic binders ranging in thickness from ¾” to 1”, Sand daM™ has the durability and resistance to withstand weather and prevent washouts and contamination. In cold climates, Sand daM™ eliminates cross migration of rocks and other materials due to the freeze-thaw process. Unlike other products that are water soluble and become flat and useless after saturation, Sand daM™ is designed to work well under water and been shown to survive the longest - compared to our competitors’ products - under damp bunker sand. Its open mesh, bonded fiber design allows water movement to underdrains quickly, while ensuring that sand particles stay in place. In fact, Sand daM™ has been field tested by civil engineers to stabilize sand on slopes as severe as 60 degrees!

Even better, Sand daM™ is easy to install. Because it is 100 percent nonflammable, Sand daM™ can be ‘cut’ with a hand-held propane torch with almost surgical precision—saving you labor costs during installation. And unlike other geosynthetic products, Sand daM™ is designed not to snag if accidental contact is made by golf clubs or maintenance equipment.

Considering that a typical golf course spends roughly $7,600 per year just on manpower to maintain sand-eroded bunkers, an investment in Sand daM™ could pay off for you. Call us for more information or view the brochure at the link below.

Hi Performance Sand daM™ Installation Instructions

   ROUND TOP DRIVER
The Round Top Driver is a fast, efficient way to install Sand daM™ bunker blankets, geotextile fabric, winter golf green covers, or sod ever developed! This easy-to-use labor-saving device was engineered to install Round Top Pins anywhere… in any weather condition.

The Round Top Driver features a center driven mechanism manufactured from a high impact, lightweight, non-corrosive material designed for long term use.

The driver is a gravity fed device with only one moving part, the plunger. There are NO spring recoil devices to replace or jam.

How it works:

  1. Drop a 6“ Round Top Pin into the feed tube.
  2. Raise the plunger handle allowing the pin to drop into the chamber of the center punched gasket.
  3. The gasket holds the pin in a vertical position where it awaits the plunger mechanism’s fall.
  4. The operator then drops the 2.8lb. plunger with its 4" stainless steel tip, driving the pin into the soil.
  Advantages:
  • Reduces labor and installation costs by as much as 40%.
  • Operated from a standing position.
  • Reduces laborer fatigue resulting from kneeling.
  • Allows operator to install up to 64 square feet of fabric while standing in one center location.
  • “Jamming” is virtually eliminated due to center driven plunger.
  • Lightweight and virtually maintenance-free.

Round-Top Pin

PACKAGING:

  • 1000pcs./carton
  • 50 lbs./carton
The Round Top Pin, when installed with the Round Top Driver, is one of the most advanced products in the industry. It's the only device of its kind for securing Sand daM erosion blankets, geotextile fabrics, and sod. The pin is manufactured 11 gauge, high-strength steel wire. It measures 6 inches in length and has a 1 3/8" diameter head.

The Round-Top head is engineered to hold 5 times the surface area of a typical U-shaped staple. In other words, more surface area means more holding power.

The patent pending Round Top Pin will help to reduce labor cost, improve installation and insure the success of your next project.

Advantages:

  1. Saves you time and money.
  2. Eliminates back-breaking stake and staple hand pounding.
  3. Helps eliminate mower damage by completely driving steel pins into the soil.
  4. Less chance of bending or jamming like traditional U- shaped staples.
  5. Holds more netting strands than a typical “U-shaped” staple.
  6. Allows easy visual inspection by engineer, superintendent or inspector.
  7. Provides more surface holding power.
  8. Versatile - can be used with any center driven securing pin.
  9. Works great securing Sand daM™ bunker blankets in muddy sloped areas, or water puddles.
