Coir Logs

Stabilizing Soil with Erosion Control Coir Fiber Rolls

A coir log provides soil erosion control on slopes, riverbanks, and shorelines, building up a compromised area and stabilizing it so new vegetation can regrow. Parks and Recreation departments typically use erosion control logs to maintain public parks and waterways.


Made from biodegradable coir twine netting that surrounds a mix of mattress coconut coir, erosion control logs typically have a lifespan of 2 to 5 years until they naturally degrade.

Coir Logs for Soil Erosion Control

Coir logs are an ecofriendly, biodegradable choice for Sediment Control and slope stabilization. When municipalities need to protect natural resources and wildlife habitats, finding a solution that is both environmentally friendly and cost effective is imperative.


Soil erosion control affects many different municipal departments. From road infrastructure to public parks to water management, controlling sediment means solving far-reaching problems.


Erosion control logs are safe for existing wildlife in the surrounding environment. Coconut coir fiber logs return nutrients to the soil, naturally break down, and don't require removal after installation. Soil erosion control can be a long process, but the fiber rolls ability to naturally degrade allows the project to have minimal maintenance.


When installing erosion control rolls, it's recommended that vegetation be planted within the structure of the logs to increase soil and slope stabilization. Once the log has biodegraded, the plants will remain, creating a natural erosion control barrier.

Coir Log Accessories

Installing coir logs is an easy task with the right tools and accessories. Before installation, clear debris, rocks, and other materials from the area. Coir logs should only come in contact with soil.


After clearing the area, dig a small trench and place coir logs in them, backfilling with soil to ensure that the logs are tightly packed in place. Adjacent logs should fit tightly end-to-end. Log endings can be joined together with coir twine or other ties. Anchor logs into position with stakes or staples. The position of the anchor spacing and log diameter will depend on the conditions of the job site.


  • Biodegradable landscape stakes
  • Biodegradable net peg
  • Line driver
  • Staple driver

Stream Flow Diameter Anchor Height Anchor Spacing
Large Heavy 20" 4 foot minimum Every 2 feet
Large Moderate 16" 3 foot minimum Every 2.5 feet
Medium Moderate 12" 30 inch minimum Every 3 feet
Medium Moderate 12" 30 inch minimum Every 3 feet

Coir Log Applications

Coir log applications are abundant, from slope stabilization to compliance with construction sites. These easy to install, biodegradable coconut coir logs save time and money. Coir logs will naturally degrade, enhancing the environment as they do.


Because they biodegrade, they won't need to be removed, saving labor costs that can be funneled back into the budget.


Coconut coir's low rate of decomposition and long product life lends itself to restoration initiatives, beautification projects, and municipal landscaping. Although coir fiber rolls have a high air and water permeability, the actual lifespan of a coir log will depend on the conditions of the particular site.


Other coir log applications include:


  • Dam construction
  • Shoreline protection
  • Railway embankments
  • Wetland restoration

For information about installation, see our Coir Logs Installation Flyer (PDF) for more information.
