mentor to Thomas Jefferson. Today, Castle Hill reclaims its glory as a cidery
and premiere venue for weddings and special events in Virginia.
PRODUCT Tenax GP-Flex 1800
GP-Flex® has been tested for slip resistance to BS 7976-2 and when
tested alongside other slip resistant grass protection meshes, GP-Flex® showed
an improvement of over 33% in comparison.
GP-Flex® is manufactured using a
unique method of extrusion (patent pending), enabling the incorporation of a
slip resistant surface. In addition, by re-designing the profile, TENAX has
made the mesh more flexible, enabling quicker installation.
THE PROBLEM
Castle Hill Cider recently built a brand new cidery on site!
Though this was a wonderful addition, the site was now left with insufficient
parking for the increase of visitors to this cidery and tasting room nearby.
THE SOLUTION
After discovering the GPFlex 1800 technology, the
cidery purchased 36 rolls from their local distributor, Benner’s Gardens. Their
resourceful staff was able to efficiently install the rolls with a minimal
amount of tools required.
CONCLUSIONS
As a result, Castle Hill Cider was able to add 15,919.2 square feet (just over 1/3 of an acre) of permanent visitor
parking for their new cidery and tasting room.
