BÖCK GITTERflex® Silo Protection Grid
BÖCK GITTERflex® is a durable silo protection grid designed to protect silage film and stored silage from external damage caused by birds, animals, hail, wind, and other environmental factors. Built for long-term farm use, it helps keep the silage cover secure while supporting cleaner and more reliable silage storage.
By holding the silage film firmly in place, GITTERflex® helps prevent the film from fluttering in the wind. This reduces the risk of air being pushed into the silo, which can lead to mould growth, spoilage, and unnecessary silage losses.
Made from strong, UV-stabilized HDPE monofilament yarn, BÖCK GITTERflex® is extremely tear-resistant, impact-resistant, and built for a long service life. It is a practical alternative to traditional weighting methods such as tires or sand, helping save time during daily farm work while offering dependable protection.

Reliable Protection for Silage Covers
Silage film plays an important role in protecting feed quality, but it can be damaged by birds, animals, hail, wind movement, and daily farm conditions. BÖCK GITTERflex® adds a strong protective layer over the silage cover, helping reduce the risk of punctures, contamination, and damage to the film underneath.
Its tight, heavy-duty mesh construction helps keep the cover stable and secure. This is especially useful in windy conditions, where movement in the film can allow air to enter the silo and affect silage quality.
Easy Handling and Installation
GITTERflex® is designed for practical use on the farm. The woven retaining loops make it easier to position and handle during installation. With the right size, the grid can extend from side wall to side wall, helping create a secure and reliable covering system for your silo.
