Product Information

Full details

The Storm WeedTex (WTEX-210) is a standard duty weed control fabric designed for homeowners and landscapers looking to suppress unwanted vegetation in outdoor spaces. Its primary benefit is effectively blocking daylight to prevent weed growth underneath surfaces like PVC decking; however, it is not suitable for high-traffic areas or spaces covered with loose stone or aggregate, where a heavier duty alternative would be required.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this under gravel paths?

No, this is a standard duty fabric. You should use a heavier duty fabric for areas covered in aggregate or stone to prevent punctures.

Is this fabric permeable?

Yes, it is designed to allow water and nutrients to pass through to the soil while still blocking the light needed by weeds.

Can I walk on the fabric?

It is not designed for high pedestrian traffic. It is intended to be covered by decking or other surface structures.

How do I cut the material to size?

The fabric can be easily cut to size using a pair of heavy-duty scissors or a sharp utility knife.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The product comes as a single sheet measuring 10 meters in length by 2 meters in width.

Troubleshooting

Weeds appearing at the seams

Ensure that you are overlapping the fabric sheets by at least 10cm to create a continuous barrier.

Fabric tearing during installation

Check the ground for sharp rocks or sticks before laying the fabric and remove them; ensure you are using appropriate landscape staples.

Water pooling on the fabric

Ensure the sub-soil is properly graded to allow for natural drainage away from the area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for suppressing weeds under deck installations
  • Generous 20 square meter coverage per roll
  • Lightweight and easy to trim to size
  • Effective daylight blocking properties

Cons

  • Not suitable for high pedestrian traffic areas
  • Requires a heavier duty fabric for use under aggregates or stone
  • Cannot be used as a standalone surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, begin by clearing the designated area of existing weeds and debris. Ensure the ground is relatively level to prevent pooling. Roll out the 10m x 2m sheet and secure it with landscaping pegs to ensure it remains taut. Overlap edges by at least 10cm if using multiple sheets to prevent weed breakthrough at the seams. When cleaning, ensure the surrounding drainage systems are clear so water does not accumulate on top of the fabric. Avoid using heavy machinery or sharp tools directly on the fabric during installation to maintain its structural integrity.
