3 ft Landscape Fabric For Weed Barrier, Ground Cover, Garden

Product Introduction

Sandbaggy commercial grade landscape fabric is trusted by farmers and landscape contractors across this country. Manufactured with durable, polypropylene woven fabric, Sandbaggy landscape fabric meets or exceeds DOT standards for landscaping fabric.

We ensure that our heavy duty landscape fabric has at least 135 lbs of tensile strength, as well as UV inhibitors to ensure longevity after installation. Fabric is very easy to install.

All you need to do is lay out the fabric and use Sandbaggy landscape staples to hold the fabric in place. Planting trees and plants is easy as well. Just cut the fabric with a pair of scissors and place the plant through the fabric, and you're done.

Features

• SAME, STRONG MATERIAL AS FLOOD CONTROL SANDBAGS: The durability of polypropylene woven fabric has been tested in severe flooding across this country and has stood the test of time. The same material that protects cities from being inundated with floodwaters is also used to produce Sandbaggy's commercial grade landscape fabric.

• STOP WEEDS: Using thick 3 oz fabric tightly woven by industrial grade looms, it makes it much more difficult for weeds to puncture through the fabric. Another side benefit with 3 ft wide landscape fabric is that it helps prevent weeds from growing by blocking out the sunlight weeds need to grow. 

• KEEP SOIL IN PLACE: Weed barrier keeps your soil in place and prevents it from being eroded away during a rainstorm. Great for use under mulch or in a greenhouse. Sandbaggy Fabric is trusted by farmers across this country from reforestation farmers in Kooskia, Idaho on the West Coast to bamboo farmers in Lithia Florida on the East Coast

Fabric Lifespan - 40+ Years

Engineered to last 40+ Years! As long as the fabric is buried with at least 3 inches of gravel, mulch, or under roads, and away from UV sun exposure, this woven landscape fabric can last 40+ years.

However, if the fabric is exposed to the Sun, the lifespan drops as low as one year.

Great For Farming

Description

Professional Quality Heat Sealed Edges

A common problem with landscape fabric is that the edges fray. The edges of Sandbaggy landscape fabric are heat sealed to prevent the fabric from fraying.

Securing Landscape Fabric

Tips

1. Depending on how hard your soil is, separate each 6-inch sod staple between 2-4 ft. For very soft soil, separate each staple by 2 ft. For very hard soil, separate each staple by 4 ft.
2. For very soft soil, we recommend longer sod staples, such as 9-inch sod staples.
3. For very hard soil, we recommend thicker sod staples, such as 6" x 2" x 6" 9-gauge staples. 

Tools required for landscape staples installation:

• Rubber Mallet
• Gloves

Comparison with Competition

• UV Protection: added to fabric
• Made from 100% virgin resin: provides additional strength compared with recycled resin
• Laboratory tested: to meet ASTM tests
• Pre-shipment inspection: fabric inspected for irregularities and breakages before shipment

Results on ASTM Test

Every batch of fabric is lab tested to ensure consistency and quality throughout the fabric roll.

Test results

• UV Protection: ASTM D4355 - at least 80% strength after 500 hours
• Tensile Strength: ASTDM D4632 - 135 lbs
• Meets Class 2 & Class 3 requirements for Woven Geotextiles

How this staples/fabric calculator works

Staples

Far more staples are required in soft soil than hard soil to properly anchor the landscape fabric in place.

To be precise, in soft soil, install one staple every 1 foot. In normal soil, install one staple every 3 feet. In hard soil, install one staple every 5 feet.

Landscape fabric

The calculator assumes that landscape fabric is being used to cover every square foot of the plot of land.

When rolling out landscape fabric, it's ideal to overlap the edges of the landscape fabric about 12%, so that weeds cannot grow in between the edges of the fabric.

Landscape fabric should not be stretched straight over a dip in the ground.

Rather, the fabric should be touching the ground at all times and should adjust to the contours of the land, such as bumps, dips, and hills.

This allows you to walk on the installed landscape fabric without worrying about damaging it.
