Thickness of root protection screen?

1 mm is already enough to stop tree roots (as opposed to rhizomes) from penetrating the screen. See blog for more info regarding this topic.

When is a double edge top recommented?

A double edge top is only necessary if it is expected that a root growing over the screen can continue to grow. For example, if there is a hard surface, there is nil chance that this root will survive.

Why must the vertical ribs of a root guidance screen be continuous from top to bottom?

If the vertical ribs are interrupted, the root will grow horizontally again at the interruption and circle along the screen until the next vertical rib. This will negatively affect the stability of the tree.
