Troubleshooting

Weeds growing through the fabric

Ensure the fabric is fully covering the soil and that there are no gaps. Check if weeds are growing from seeds deposited on top of the fabric or blown in by wind; reapply mulch or gravel if needed. Verify the fabric is not compromised or degraded.

Fabric shifting or blowing in the wind

Secure the edges more thoroughly using heavier ground stakes, larger rocks, or a thicker layer of mulch or gravel. Ensure seams are adequately overlapped and weighted down.

Water pooling on the surface

Confirm the fabric is correctly installed and not obstructed. While permeable, excessive water may indicate poor drainage in the underlying soil or a blockage on the fabric's surface that needs clearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Clear the area of existing weeds and debris.
Unroll the Weed Control Fabric, ensuring it lies flat against the soil.
Cut the fabric to the desired shape and size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
Overlap seams by at least 10-15 cm if multiple pieces are used.
Secure the edges with ground stakes, rocks, or by covering with mulch or gravel.

Compatibility:

This fabric is compatible with a wide range of landscaping materials, including:

Bark mulch
Gravel (various sizes)
Decorative stones
Soil (for planting directly into overlaid beds)

It can be used in conjunction with irrigation systems, as its permeability allows water to pass through.

Care:

The fabric is designed for low maintenance. Generally, no specific cleaning is required. Periodically check the edges to ensure they remain secured. If sediment or debris accumulates on the surface over time, it can be gently swept or hosed off. Avoid using sharp objects that could puncture the fabric unnecessarily.
