Biodegradable Coconut Fiber Logs

Coconut Logs, Erosion Control for Environmentally Sensitive Areas

Coir fiber logs are a natural, biodegradable solution for erosion on hills, slopes, river banks, and shorelines. Coconut fiber logs are made from 100 percent coconut fiber that is designed to provide all-natural erosion control for environmentally sensitive areas. This erosion control that coconut coir logs provide is biodegradable, durable and robust.


As coconut logs for erosion control work, they help to reestablish vegetation in your environmentally sensitive areas, better controlling erosion over time as the coconut fiber coir logs biodegrade. Depending on the conditions of your site, coconut fiber coir logs will have a typical lifespan of 2 to 5 years before they biodegrade.

 

Note: Coir, like many products, is sourced from overseas. During these challenging times, due to trouble with supply and getting the products through the port systems, many products are less available. When they are available, they are more expensive. Coir is one of the products affected this way, across the entire industry. However, there are alternatives. As a practical and affordable alternative to coir logs or wattle, you might consider sediment filter logs. They are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and perform in all the same ways that coir log and wattle do. Please see Sediment Filter Logs (pdf). Call us for pricing or with questions.

Coir fiber logs are 10 feet in length but can be joined to be used for longer projects. Depending on your location and your site conditions, coconut logs will have life span of 2-to-5 years until they biodegrade.


Coir Log Features

  • Inner material: Coir mattress fibers
  • Outer material: Coir twine
  • Coir twine to connect coir fiber logs

Other advantages of coir fiber logs include their wide variety of uses for different projects and applications. Coir fiber logs are best used for environmentally sensitive areas that suffer from erosion. Coconut logs are usually simple to install and will biodegrade completely. Depending on your site conditions, a typical coir fiber log will last anywhere from 2-to-5 years. This lifespan of this natural erosion control product will allow for the growth of natural vegetation, giving plants time to develop deep root systems, while building into the surrounding typography.


Coir Log Benefits

  • Will hold seeds and saplings in place
  • No chemical treatment required
  • Can be permeated by water and air

When it comes to stabilizing environmentally sensitive areas, growing vegetation and enriching the soil and ecosystem, you can't go wrong with coconut fiber coir logs.


Coir Fiber Log Applications and Locations


Coir fiber logs are used wherever slope stabilization and erosion control are needed. This can include construction sites, environment restoration projects, and riverbank stabilization and channel restoration projects. In areas with medium waterflow, coir fiber logs are great erosion control tools.


Coir fiber logs can be used for the following applications and locations:

  • Dam Construction Sites
  • Highway and Railway Embankments
  • Ski Slopes and Lifts
  • Pipeline Construction Sites
  • Wetlands Restoration
