Product Information

Full details

DrainTex is a professional-grade non-woven geotextile designed for contractors and homeowners looking to improve long-term drainage efficiency and ground stability. It excels at filtering soil particles while allowing water to pass through, effectively preventing clogs in French drains and sediment buildup in soakaway crates. While it provides excellent separation and reinforcement, users should note that the 2m x 25m roll is a heavy-duty material that requires proper overlap and secure placement to ensure it does not shift during the backfilling process.

FAQs

Can I use DrainTex for weed suppression?

While the fabric is porous, it is specifically engineered for drainage and ground stabilization rather than weed suppression; for long-term weed control, consider a dedicated landscape fabric.

How much overlap should I provide?

We recommend an overlap of at least 300mm to ensure complete separation and prevent soil ingress between the sheets.

Is this product UV stable?

It is intended for underground use. If left exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, the material can degrade, so cover it with aggregate or soil promptly.

Can I use this for wrapping a soakaway?

Yes, it is excellent for wrapping soakaway crates to prevent silt from filling the voids in the crates.

Does the fabric rot underground?

DrainTex is manufactured to be resistant to biological and chemical agents found in soil, ensuring it will not rot or decay in standard ground conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fabric tearing during installation

Ensure the sub-grade is free of sharp, protruding rocks before laying and use larger overlaps if the ground is uneven.

Difficulty cutting the material

Use a fresh, sharp utility knife blade or industrial-grade heavy-duty fabric shears for a cleaner cut.

Fabric shifting while backfilling

Use ground pegs to secure the edges of the fabric to the sides of the trench or ground until the initial layer of aggregate is placed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Prevents clogging of drainage systems
Reinforces ground stability for driveways and roads
High-quality non-woven material resists tearing
Compatible with a wide range of aggregate sizes

Cons

Requires significant overlaps during installation
Heavy roll size may require two people to position efficiently
Cutting requires heavy-duty shears or a sharp utility knife

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before laying DrainTex, ensure the trench or ground surface is relatively free of large, sharp debris that could compromise the fabric integrity. When laying, overlap the edges by at least 300mm to maintain a continuous barrier. For soakaway crates, wrap the entire unit, ensuring no gaps exist where silt could enter. The product requires no maintenance once installed; however, ensure the drainage outlet points are not obstructed during the final landscaping stage. Store the remaining roll in a dry area away from direct, prolonged UV exposure to maintain material strength.
