Jute mesh, also known as Hessian fabric, is commonly used in revegetation products to hold soil and seedlings in place and prevent erosion. Unlike jute mats, jute mesh allows maximum sunlight to pass through the cover into the soil layer. These biodegradable netting decomposes in the soil, further supporting the germination process.
In terms of erosion control, they are more suitable for areas with low erosion control needs.
Available Sizes:
- 1.22m x 550m (500 gsm) – Best for large-scale revegetation in tall batters and slopes.
- 1.22m x 68m (500 gsm) – Ideal for residential landscaping, smaller slopes, and home gardening.
Jute Mesh Installation
Prepare the site by removing any rocks and debris which might damage the mesh.
Unroll the mesh and cut it into required lengths for easy handling.
For embankments, dig trenches on top of the embankment, bury the edge of the mesh, and fasten it with steel retaining pins.
For vegetation purposes, make sure you fill a thin layer of mulch, then lay the mesh for best results.
How Jute Mesh Rolls Work
Jute mesh rolls are placed directly over exposed soil, protecting against erosion from moderate rain and wind currents. Their loose weave allows the soil to access maximum air, water, and sunlight. making them ideal for supporting native plant regeneration while stabilising the soil.
These meshes work well with hydro mulching. This lightweight cover ensures that the mulch is in contact with the soil at all times while allowing sufficient sunlight into the cultivation.
However, the open weave design may also allow weed growth. You may require additional maintenance efforts for some projects.
Applications of Jute Mesh
- Slopes and Embankments
- Reinforces soil in slopes and embankments by supporting revegetation.
- Reducing surface runoff from heavy rains.
- Waterways with Low to Moderate Flow
- Promotes vegetation growth on surfaces where low to moderate water flow prevails.
- Help to stabilise soil effectively.
- Landscaping and Gardening
- Keeps seeds intact in the soil and provides a better medium for vegetation to establish.
- Supports the regrowth of grass in landscaping areas, enhancing soil stability and aesthetics.
- Forestry and Conservation Projects
- Encourages natural plant recruitment in degraded areas.
- Ideal for landscapes where weed growth isn’t a major concern.
- Mine Site Rehabilitation
- Aids long-term soil stabilisation
- Supports ecosystem recovery in mining-affected sites.
- Farmlands, Vineyards, and Sloped Gardens
- Prevents soil degradation and erosion in agricultural lands, sloped gardens, and vineyard terrains.
- Coastal Sites and Dunes
- Helping to stabilise sandy soils in coastal zones and dune systems.
- Provides short-term erosion control.
- Batters and Slopes at Construction Sites
- Offers temporary erosion control on disturbed batters and slopes during construction phases.
- Long Swale Drains
- Stabilises the base of slopes and hills by protecting long swale drains from erosion and sediment movement.

FAQs About Jute Mesh
What Is Jute Mesh Used For?
Jute fiber mesh is an open-weave erosion control material designed to stabilise soil while allowing sunlight to reach the ground. It is commonly used in revegetation projects, slope stabilisation, and areas where natural plant recruitment is encouraged.
How Long Does Jute Fiber-Based Mesh Last?
Generally, jute fiber meshes last between 6 to 12 months, breaking down gradually as vegetation establishes. The lifespan of these mesh products varies based on environmental conditions and soil moisture.
How Does Jute Mesh Compare to Jute Matting?
Jute Mesh: Open-weave design allows sunlight, ideal for natural vegetation growth, but may permit weed growth.
Jute Matting: Tight-weave structure, blocks sunlight, provides better weed control, but may slow down natural recruitment.
Can jute-based mesh be used on compacted clay?
Absolutely, but site preparation is key. Clear vegetation and rubble, level the subgrade, and moisten the soil slightly if compacted. This helps the mesh conform better to the ground and improves seed germination and root contact.
How many ground pins are recommended for a 55m roll?
For a 1.22m x 55m roll (approx. 67.1m²), you’ll typically need 130–160 steel pins, spaced at 500–750mm intervals. Additional pins are recommended for windy sites, sloped terrain, or areas with high water flow.
Can this mesh be installed without trenching on flat ground?
Yes. On level terrain, trenching isn’t required. Simply overlap the edges by 10–15 cm and pin them down securely.
Is this size roll manageable for a one-person installation?
It depends on the weight of the roll. The 550m roll weighs over 300 kg, and we recommend at least 6-8 people for handling and moving to prevent mesh distortion. However, laying can be done by one person as the roll is cut into required lengths.
Can Jute Fiber Mesh Be Used in Conjunction With Other Erosion Control Measures?
Yes, it can be used in combination with other erosion control measures like silt fences, coir logs, and coir blankets. They help you enhance erosion control in more challenging landscapes.
What Are the Best Conditions for Using Jute Erosion Control Mesh?
Jute mesh rolls are ideal for slopes, embankments, and restoration sites where vegetation needs to be established naturally. It works best in areas with moderate erosion risk and where plant regrowth is encouraged.
Does Jute Fiber Mesh Need Maintenance After Installation?
Minimal maintenance is required. However, checking for displacement after heavy rain and ensuring proper soil contact can help maximise its effectiveness. Over time, as vegetation grows, the mesh naturally decomposes without further intervention.
