FAQs
What is the primary function of this weed membrane?
Its primary function is to suppress weed growth effectively while allowing water and air to pass through to the soil, supporting healthy plant life.
How do I cut the weed membrane to fit my garden area?
You can easily cut the membrane using sharp scissors or a utility knife. The green stripes every 20 cm can help guide precise cuts.
Can this membrane be used under artificial grass?
Yes, it is suitable for use under artificial grass, providing a weed-free base layer that also allows for drainage.
How long will the weed membrane last?
The membrane is made from durable, UV-stabilised polypropylene (PP), designed for long-lasting performance in outdoor conditions.
Does the membrane prevent all water from reaching the soil?
No, the membrane is designed to be permeable, allowing water and air to pass through while blocking weeds.
What is the weight of the membrane per square meter?
The membrane has a weight of 60 g/m².
Can I use this membrane on a slope?
Yes, but ensure it is well-secured with pegs or sufficient covering material to prevent it from shifting downslope over time.
Troubleshooting
Weeds growing through the membrane
Ensure the membrane is fully covered by at least 5-10 cm of mulch, gravel, or soil. Check for any tears or gaps where weeds might emerge. If weeds are growing from seeds on top of the membrane, manual removal may be necessary.
Membrane is not lying flat or is shifting
Secure the membrane more thoroughly using additional pegs or by increasing the weight of the covering material. Ensure the ground underneath is relatively level.
Excessive water pooling on the surface
Verify that the membrane has not been installed over a compacted or impermeable layer. Ensure the surrounding ground has adequate drainage. The membrane itself is permeable, so pooling indicates an issue with the underlying ground or drainage system.
