5 Easy Steps to Install Coir Geotextile Fabrics by Yourself
Install coir geotextiles with ease on sites that require erosion control, soil stabilization, or for landscaping rain gardens.
Our DIY guide will take you through 5 hassle-free steps.
Steps
Step 1
Prepare the area by clearing any debris, rocks, or vegetation, and ensure that the soil is prepped for plant growth.
Step 2
Dig a trench of at least 200mm depth around the whole area of installation and fill it back after the placement of the coir mesh within.
Step 3
Unroll the coir mesh, cut it to the desired length, and lay it in the direction of water flow.
Step 4
Ensure that the adjoining rolls overlap by at least 100mm and secure the edges of the coir mesh with a couple of pins every square meter.
Step 5
Water the coir mesh to help it conform to the soil and promote the growth of vegetation.
Note
If fast water currents are expected, it is recommended to secure the coir blanket at closer intervals by using pins or stakes.
To further prevent sedimentation and movement of soil around the coir mesh installed areas, place coir mesh logs perpendicular to the direction of sediment flow.
When vegetated both the coir logs and coir geotextile fabric will provide the mechanical strength necessary to hold the soil in place, establishing natural borders and thereby preventing erosion and sedimentation.
