Coir Logs

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.

See our Coir Logs Product Flyer (PDF) for more information on coir logs specifications.

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.
