Nice ad.At the bottom of the same page was an advertisement for bamboo shield, which is even thicker and resists 200 lbs of pressure and is 3 feet deep and 75 feet long.

The bamboo version is more like something I’d use. I plan on putting one around my septic system just to be safe.

Just wanted to pop in and say both brands have the 36" 100 mil material listed (200lb ASTM puncture strength). The 200lbs is enough to cover the axial tree root pressures of every study we've found. It's also important to note the objective is to direct the tree roots deeper, rather than stop them. So if installed properly (at a 10° angle) the full force of the roots should never be exerted, but it will handle it either way. We feel a little overkill is necessary, nobody wants to dig a 3ft trench twice.
