FAQs

What is the fabric made of?

The lifespan depends on environmental conditions and use, but the UV-stabilized fabric is designed for long-term weed prevention.

What is the weight of the fabric?

Can I use this fabric on a slope?

Yes, but ensure it is properly secured with staples or pegs to prevent it from sliding.

How do I calculate how much fabric I need?

Measure the area you want to cover and add extra for overlap (around 10cm on seams).

Troubleshooting

Weeds are growing through the membrane.

Check for tears or damage in the fabric. Ensure proper overlap of the fabric seams. If necessary, apply a second layer or use a more robust weed control method.

The membrane is lifting or shifting.

Ensure the membrane is properly secured with landscape staples or pegs. Ensure sufficient covering material is used to weigh it down.

The fabric is difficult to cut.

Use sharp household scissors or a utility knife for clean cuts. Consider using a cutting mat to protect the surface underneath.
