Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the ground by clearing any large stones or debris.
- Unroll the membrane and position it over the desired area. For larger areas using multiple rolls, overlap the edges by at least 10-15 cm to prevent gaps.
- Cut the membrane to the required shape using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
- Secure the membrane firmly using Weed Membrane Fixing Pegs & Plates (sold separately) around the edges and at regular intervals across the surface, especially in windy areas or on slopes.
- Cover the membrane with your chosen top layer, such as mulch, gravel, bark, or soil, depending on the application.
Compatibility:
This membrane is compatible with most landscaping materials, including gravel, bark chippings, soil, sand, and paving stones. It is designed for use with Harbour Housewares Weed Membrane Fixing Pegs & Plates for optimal security. It can be used in conjunction with plant irrigation systems, though care should be taken during installation not to puncture the membrane unnecessarily.
Care:
- The membrane is designed for long-term use and requires minimal maintenance.
- Periodically check that the membrane remains securely in place, especially after heavy weather.
- If weeds begin to grow on top of the membrane (often from seeds in the topping material), they can be removed manually or with a weed killer. The membrane itself does not require cleaning.
