Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Groundcover Fabric is designed for gardeners, landscapers, and contractors needing durable, long-term weed control. Its key benefit is robust weed suppression while allowing water and nutrients to reach the soil. A potential caveat is that its woven nature may require secure anchoring in windy conditions. This premium fabric is crafted from tightly woven polypropylene, offering tear-resistance and permeability for healthy plant growth. It also functions as a stabilizing membrane and features a gridded design for precise plant spacing, available in various lengths up to 50m.

FAQs

How long does this groundcover fabric last?

The Pegdev Groundcover Fabric is designed for long-term use. Its durable polypropylene construction offers sustained weed control for many years, especially when protected from direct prolonged UV exposure.

Can I plant directly through this fabric?

Yes, you can. Make small 'X' cuts in the fabric where you intend to plant. The fabric allows water and nutrients to pass through to the soil, supporting plant growth.

Will water drain properly through the fabric?

Yes, the fabric is permeable, allowing water and air to pass through to the soil, which is crucial for healthy root systems and preventing waterlogging.

What is the best way to secure the fabric?

Use sturdy ground stakes or pegs, spaced approximately every 1-2 meters along the edges and any overlapping seams. Ensure the stakes are driven firmly into the ground.

Can this fabric be used under a patio or deck?

Yes, it serves as an excellent stabilizing and separating membrane beneath patios, decks, or pathways, preventing weed growth and soil erosion.

How much overlap is recommended for seams?

It is recommended to overlap the fabric seams by at least 10-15 cm to ensure comprehensive weed suppression and prevent any gaps.

Troubleshooting

Fabric is not lying flat

Ensure the ground is relatively smooth and evenly compacted. Add more stakes along the edges and across the fabric to secure it properly.

Weeds are growing through seams

Increase the overlap of the fabric seams to at least 15 cm and ensure stakes are used to hold the overlapped section down firmly.

Fabric appears to be shifting

Add additional ground stakes to secure the fabric more thoroughly, especially in areas prone to wind or foot traffic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Roll out the Pegdev Groundcover Fabric, ensuring it lies flat.
  3. Overlap seams by at least 10-15 cm for maximum weed suppression.
  4. Secure the fabric using ground stakes or pegs, placing them every 1-2 meters along the edges and at seam overlaps.
