Weed Control Membrane Barrier Fabric - 100gsm Heavy Duty - 1M X 25M - B&Q - GC-1M-25M

100gsm stands for 'grams per square meter.' It indicates the density and thickness of the fabric. A 100gsm fabric is considered heavy-duty, providing better weed suppression and durability compared to lighter-weight membranes.

Yes, this heavy-duty weed control membrane is an excellent choice for use under artificial grass. It creates a robust barrier against weeds and helps to stabilize the ground beneath the turf.

Yes, for best results and to extend the lifespan of the fabric, it should be covered with at least 5-10cm (2-4 inches) of your chosen top layer, such as mulch, gravel, soil, or artificial grass. This protects it from UV degradation and helps keep it in place.

Yes, it is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens as it is a chemical-free weed control solution. It prevents weeds from competing with your crops for nutrients and water, contributing to healthier plant growth. Simply cut 'X' shapes for planting.

Being a heavy-duty 100gsm and UV-stabilized fabric, when properly installed and covered, you can expect this membrane to last for many years, typically 5-10 years or more, depending on environmental conditions and coverage.

Yes, the fabric is designed to be permeable, allowing water and nutrients to pass through to the soil below. This is crucial for maintaining soil health and allowing plants to thrive, especially in vegetable beds.

Check for gaps where the fabric overlaps, or small tears that may have occurred during installation. Ensure the fabric is completely covered by your chosen top layer (mulch, gravel, etc.). Persistent deep-rooted weeds might require prior removal and potentially treatment before laying the fabric.

Ensure the fabric is adequately secured with landscape staples or pins, especially along all edges and overlaps. Place staples every 30-50 cm (12-20 inches) for optimal stability. Covering the fabric with your chosen surface material will also help weigh it down.

While the fabric is permeable, significant pooling can occur if the ground beneath is not properly prepared for drainage or if the fabric is laid in a depression. Ensure the ground is level or sloped slightly for runoff. If installing under turf, consider a drainage layer beneath the fabric if pooling is severe.

Use sharp, heavy-duty household scissors. The printed planting lines can be used as a guide for straight cuts. For intricate shapes, use a template or mark the fabric with chalk before cutting.
