Coir mesh is a thin woven mesh of coconut fibers that are held together with a biodegradable netting material. These are most commonly used in erosion control and as a growing medium for plant vegetation projects. Our coir mesh has a lifespan of up to 2-5 years based on its usage.
At HEIGER, we bring mesh options in a variety of dimensions and thicknesses to suit various applications.
Available Sizes & Grades:
- 1m x 10m (400, 700, 900 GSM)
- 2m x 25m (400, 700, & 900 GSM)
The 2m x 25m mesh roll is ideal for large-scale applications that require extensive coverage, like coastal areas and riverbanks. Covers a vast area of land with fewer joins and fewer rolls. The 1m x 10m is the preferred choice for home projects.
Choose from a range of thicknesses for each size. The thicker variants, like 700 gsm and above, generally last longer than other thinner mesh variants. Meshes with higher GSM are suitable for landscapes facing medium to high erosion.

How Coir Mesh Works
When unrolled and secured, the fiber mesh provides immediate stabilisation for your site. Its interwoven structure reinforces slopes, reducing the risk of slope failure.
This design also allows water to flow through seamlessly while capturing sediment particles. This process helps maintain water quality in nearby ecosystems by preventing soil particles from entering waterways.
Coir-based meshes create a stable environment for plant establishment. The mesh shields seeds from wind and water currents during heavy rains. During the dry season, the coconut fibers retain moisture and provide a stable substrate for root growth. As vegetation roots, they further strengthen the soil, making the mesh even more effective.
Applications of Coir Mesh Rolls
- Erosion Control & Slope Stabilisation
- Prevents soil erosion on slopes, riverbanks, and shorelines.
- Reinforces road embankments, railway cuttings, and steep terrains.
- Vegetation Establishment & Land Rehabilitation
- Supports plant growth in land reclamation projects.
- Aids in mine site rehabilitation by providing a stable foundation for vegetation.
- Landscaping & Soil Conservation
- Enhances water retention and reduces soil erosion in landscaping projects.
- Promotes healthy plant growth in parks, gardens, and green spaces.
- Sediment Control & Waterway Protection
- Traps sediment runoff in construction sites and disturbed areas.
- Stabilises streambanks and shorelines against waves and water currents.
- Reinforcement of Unpaved Roads and Temporary Walls
- Provides an effective sub-base for unpaved roads.
- A sustainable solution to improve load-bearing capacity and extend pavement lifespan.
- Filtration in Road Drains and Land Reclamation
- Acts as a natural filter medium, preventing clogging and allowing water flow.
- Shoreline Stabilisation
- Protects coastal edges from wave-induced erosion.
- Enhances dune vegetation for long-term coastal resilience.
- Animal-Friendly Garden Protection
- Deters animals from digging while blending naturally with garden landscapes.
- Works effectively against both pets and wildlife.

FAQs about Coir Mesh
What is Coir Mesh in Erosion control?
Coir meshes are biodegradable mats made from natural coconut fibers. They help control erosion, support vegetation growth, and stabilise soil. They can be used on slopes, riverbanks, and construction sites.
What Is The Difference Between Coir Mesh (Geotextiles) And Coir Blankets?
Coconut fiber mesh rolls have an open-weave structure, allowing better water flow and sediment control. Coir blankets have a denser structure, providing more moisture retention for vegetation growth.
What Are The Different Densities Or GSM (Grams Per Square Meter) Of Coir Geotextiles, And Their Ideal Intended Applications?
Coir geotextiles or mesh come in varying densities. 400 GSM meshes are ideal for light erosion control. 700 GSM meshes are best for moderate slopes, while 900 GSM meshes are better for steep slopes with high water flow. Higher GSM offers greater durability and erosion resistance.
In which direction should I lay the mesh?
Always lay the coir mesh in the direction of water flow. This helps reduce water resistance and allows the matting to work efficiently by slowing down runoff and minimising erosion.
How many retaining pins do I need to install a coir mesh?
On average, you’ll need about 2 to 3 pins per square meter. This ensures the mat stays firmly in place against wind and water movement.
How much apart should the pins be when installing the mesh?
Place the pins spaced approximately 500 mm to 750 mm apart. This space is enough to create enough force to hold the mesh firmly, whether it is installed on flat ground or a slope.
Can I apply tension to the mesh when laying it?
No. Avoid applying any tension while laying the mesh. It’s designed to contour naturally with the terrain. Tensioning the mesh can lead to poor soil contact and negatively impact vegetation establishment.
How Do You Install Coir Mesh Rolls?
Prepare the site, unroll the mesh roll over the area, secure it with stakes, and plant vegetation if needed. Ensure proper overlap for continuous erosion protection.
Can I use Coir-based mesh for Residential Landscaping?
Yes, coir-based mesh rolls are perfect for residential use. They help prevent soil erosion in gardens, sloped yards, and along pathways while supporting plant growth.
