Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the soil by raking the area free of stones and clods. A Bobcat or tractor may be needed for large jobs. Do not compact. If using fertilizer, add it to the soil before grading.
2. Seeds and Mulch (if required) should be distributed evenly over the prepared soil.
3. Coir Matting should be applied by unrolling down the slope or in the direction of water-flow.
4. Dig a trench across the top of the slope. This trench should be 6 inches by 6 inches.
5. Install the Coir Matting in the trench. Place at least 12 inches of the roll above the trench (further up the slope). Space each staple about a foot apart inside the trench
6. Once staples are installed inside the trench, backfill and compact dirt inside the trench.
7. Bring the extra 12 inches of the coir roll (on step 5) and cover the trench area. Use additional staples (1 foot apart) secure.
8. Place staples 18" to 24" apart throughout to secure matting to ground. All staples must be driven flush with soil surface.
9. Always overlap the edges 2" to 6". At the end of each roll, fold back 4" to 9” of the matting. Overlap this 4" to 8" over the start of the next roll. Securely staple the two layers to the ground.

FAQ

Is coir matting the same as coconut matting?

Coir and coconut matting are synonymous with each other. That's because coir mats are made from coconut fibers.

Is coir matting good?

Coir matting is good for erosion control because it's strong, durable, water resistant, and environmental friendly. This makes them some of the strongest biodegradable erosion mats on the market.

How long do coir mats last?

The strong coconut fibers in coir matting allow it to last 2-5 years, even when a slope has no vegetation. The coir will then break down in the soil and provide a rich layer of nutrients for the plants.

What can I use instead of coir matting rolls?

The best alternative to coir netting is jute netting. Just like coir matting it's 100% biodegradable. Jute lasts 6-9 months, while Coir lasts 2-5 years.

What is the difference between the types of rolls you sell?
