Abstract
A method and apparatus for producing an irrigation mat comprised of a water impermeable base sheet, a water permeable top sheet and a capillary mat disposed between the base sheet and the top sheet. One or more flat pliable drip tapes are loosely disposed between the top sheet and the capillary mat and displaceable therebetween to any desirable position. The drip tape is a hollow flat tube constructed of perforated plastics material and extends at least a full length of the irrigation mat. The irrigation mat with the drip tapes is capable of being rolled up upon itself to form a roll. The method and apparatus for fabricating same provide for the base sheet to be folded upon opposed elongated side edges thereof to overlap the capillary mat and to be heat fused thereto. The top sheet is also heat fused to the folded edges of the back sheet.
