HEIGER’s Coir logs are 100% biodegradable and designed to control water flow and prevent soil erosion. Their natural structure helps stabilise sloppy terrains which are exposed to continuous water flow. Over time, it naturally decomposes, leaving no harmful waste and further enriching the soil. Our logs offer a lifespan of up to 2–5 years, depending on exposure and site conditions. They come in manageable weights for easy handling and installation.
These logs are not only effective in erosion control and sediment filtration, but also highly suitable for raised garden bed creation in parks and green landscaping areas. Coir logs are available in a variety of lengths, like 1.5m and 3m, and a variety of diameters, like 200mm and 300mm.
Choose the log diameter based on the water flow intensity and soil condition of your site. Larger diameters offer stronger resistance and support for heavy-duty applications.

How Coir Logs Work
The tight fiber weave absorbs water wave energy and distributes it evenly, protecting erosion-prone areas of your site. Trenches can provide a firmer grip for the log.
These fiber logs are often secured with wooden stakes and ropes to hold them in place amidst these extreme water currents.
Their porous structure is what allows water currents to seamlessly pass through. The fibers trap any sediment particles or pollutants that pass along.
Applications of Coir Logs
Coir-based logs are famous for their versatility in various applications, including:
- Slopes and Gullies
- Used where traditional silt fences are impractical.
- They help stabilise loose soil and prevent runoff.
- Gutters and Footpaths
- Prevent pathways from pooling water.
- Reinforcing hiking trails in national parks.
- Roadside Drainage
- Slow down water flow at open drains and capture sediment.
- Preventing erosion along highways and rural roads.
- Revegetation Projects
- Installed in areas where plants are regrowing. The coconut fiber provides a biodegradable medium that enriches the soil.
- Supporting native plant restoration in deforested regions.
- Riverbanks and Shorelines
- Used to absorb water waves and reduce erosion.
- Protecting wetland ecosystems from water turbulence.
- Environmental Remediation
- Deployed to rehabilitate degraded land and filter contaminants in polluted soil.
- Restoring industrial sites or former mining areas.
- Construction and Infrastructure Projects
- Used in temporary erosion control during site development.
- Managing sediment runoff around bridge construction zones.
Why Choose HEIGER Coir Logs?
Durability & Performance
HEIGER uses advanced compression techniques to create dense and tightly packed coconut fiber logs. Our durable, interlocked designs enhance resistance to wave action and environmental wear. These logs are rigorously tested to withstand the extreme weather conditions of Australia.
Well-aged Coconut Coir
Unlike fresh coir, aged coir enhances stability and longevity, ensuring long-term erosion control. At HEIGER, we source the best-aged coir from Sri Lanka. Their nutrient-rich coconut coir provides superior strength, water retention, and lasting performance.
Trusted for Australian Projects
Many projects across Australia choose HEIGER for all their erosion control product needs. We assure you that all of our products are manufactured to meet the industry standards of the market. We deliver high-performance erosion control all for an affordable price.

FAQs About Coir Logs
How are Coir logs made?
Coir-based logs are created through a process that involves;
- Soaking the husks.
- Extracting the coir fibers from the husks.
- Fibers are cleaned and dried well.
- Fibers are compressed and shaped into a log shape.
- The fiber log is enclosed by netting or twine to secure the shape and is ready for use.
How long do these logs last in field conditions?
Our 3m x 200mm logs typically last 12 to 36 months with peak performance. Site conditions such as water flow, sun exposure, and vegetation growth decide.
How many coir logs do I need for a 100m stretch?
For a 100m stretch, you’ll need at least 34 logs of 3m coir logs. We recommend the 3m coir log as it is the longest option to cover the distance with fewer logs. A 10% overlap between each log is also recommended to ensure continuous coverage and secure installation.
What is the average weight of a coir log?
The weight of a coir log typically ranges from 7 kg - 22 kg based on its diameter and length.
How do I install coir logs?
The installation process includes;
- Preparing the area by removing debris and weeds.( Dig trenches if needed)
- Placing the logs along the desired contour, overlapping the ends.
- Secure logs with wood or metal stakes.
- Plant vegetation within the logs.
- Mulch and water to promote growth and erosion control.
Can coir logs be reused?
Coconut fiber logs are made for single-use erosion control. They biodegrade and won't remain effective for another project.
How do I maintain coir-based logs for long-lasting effectiveness?
Regularly check for displacement and clear excess sediment buildup. Reinforce with additional stakes if necessary.
Do coir-based logs support vegetation growth?
Yes, coir-based logs create a natural medium for plant roots to establish, helping restore vegetation in degraded areas.
Do you offer bulk pricing or wholesale options for coir logs?
Yes, we provide bulk and wholesale options for contractors, government projects, and large-scale erosion control initiatives. Contact us for a quote.
Is delivery available across all Australian states for coir logs?
We offer delivery across all major states in Australia, such as New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia.
