Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I put gravel directly on top of this membrane?

Yes, this membrane is durable enough to support standard decorative gravel and bark layers.

Is this product safe for vegetable gardens?

Yes, it is made of chemically inert material that does not leach chemicals into the soil, keeping your produce safe.

Does the fabric affect soil drainage?

No, the woven fabric is permeable, allowing water and liquid fertilisers to reach the plant roots effectively.

How do I secure the membrane to the ground?

Use standard landscape fixing pegs or ground staples at regular intervals along the edges and overlaps.

What are the longitudinal stripes for?

They serve as a visual guide to help you maintain straight lines and consistent spacing when planting.

Troubleshooting

Weeds growing through the surface

Ensure the fabric is laid flush against the soil and that there are no large gaps around the base of the plants.

Water pooling on top of the membrane

Clear away excessive mulch or organic debris that may be clogging the weave, then hose down the fabric to clear the pores.

Membrane shifting or flapping

Add more landscape securing pegs around the edges and center of the sheet to hold it firmly against the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-density 100 g/m2 weight for superior durability
  • UV-stabilised for long-term outdoor performance
  • Supports healthy plant growth via water and nutrient permeability
  • Built-in alignment stripes simplify plant spacing

Cons

  • Requires manual installation of securing pegs
  • Surface may become slippery if covered in loose debris
  • Not intended for heavy-duty load-bearing surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, clear the area of sharp rocks and existing weeds, then roll out the membrane to cover the desired surface. Secure the edges using landscape staples or pegs to prevent the wind from lifting the material. If you are applying decorative mulch or gravel, ensure the layer is spread evenly to avoid concentrating weight in one spot. For maintenance, keep the surface clear of heavy debris build-up to ensure continued water permeability. Should the fabric become dusty or clogged with organic matter over time, simply spray it down with a garden hose to restore its drainage capacity.
