FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using this weed barrier fabric?

The primary benefit is its effectiveness in providing a robust, chemical-free barrier to prevent weed growth while allowing water and air to penetrate the soil.

Can I use this fabric with artificial grass?

Yes, this fabric is ideal for use as a base layer beneath artificial grass to prevent weeds from growing through.

Is this fabric permeable? Will water drain through it?

Yes, the fabric is designed to be breathable and permeable, allowing water and air to pass through to the soil below.

What is the GSM of this weed barrier fabric?

The GSM (Grams per Square Meter) of this fabric is 100gsm, indicating its heavy-duty nature.

How should I overlap the fabric if I need to cover a large area?

You should overlap seams by at least 10-15 cm to ensure complete weed coverage and prevent gaps.

Does this fabric require maintenance after installation?

Once installed and covered, the fabric requires very little maintenance. Its primary function is long-term weed suppression.

Can I plant directly into the soil over this fabric?

Yes, you can cut openings in the fabric to plant flowers, shrubs, or small trees. Ensure the openings are large enough for root growth.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are growing through the fabric

Check if the fabric is properly overlapped at seams and secured. Ensure there are no gaps or tears. For very aggressive weeds, a double layer might be necessary.

Water is pooling on the surface

Ensure the fabric is permeable and not blocked by compacted soil or debris underneath. Check that the ground has adequate drainage. Fabric is designed to be permeable, so pooling may indicate an underlying drainage issue.

Fabric is difficult to cut

Use a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife or scissors. For easier cutting, especially on thicker sections, score the fabric first or work in sections.

Fabric appears to be degrading after a short period

Confirm the fabric is adequately covered by mulch, soil, or your chosen landscaping material. Prolonged direct UV exposure can degrade the fabric over time.

Pros and Cons

  • Promotes healthy soil by allowing water and air circulation.

  • Large roll size offers good value and coverage.
  • Durable and long-lasting performance.

Cons

  • The heavy-duty nature may make it more challenging to cut and handle during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the ground by clearing away large rocks and debris.
  2. Unroll the fabric over the desired area, ensuring it lies flat.
  3. Overlap seams by at least 10-15 cm if multiple pieces are used.
  4. Secure the fabric using ground stakes, landscape pins, or by covering it with your chosen material (gravel, mulch, soil, decking frame).
  5. Cut openings for planting or for posts as needed using a sharp utility knife.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with gravel, bark mulch, soil, sand, and decorative stones.
  • Ideal for use beneath decking, patios, artificial grass, and paving stones.

Care:

  • The fabric is designed for long-term underground or covered use. Minimal care is required once installed.
  • If exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods, the material may degrade over time. Covering it with mulch, gravel, or soil is recommended for maximum lifespan.
  • Clean any surface debris that accumulates on top if desired.
