Installing coir fiber matting is a simple process, with the added benefit that it does not need to be removed at the completion of the erosion control project. When these instructions are followed, installation is both quick and easy.

1. 1) Grade the installation area for uniformity. For effective erosion control, the coir fabric needs to be in full contact with the soil.


2. 2) Dig a trench at both the top and bottom of the installation area.


3. 3) Unfurl the roll of coir 700 matting and lay it over the graded area. Lay the fabric in the direction of the water flow, overlapping at least 6 to 8 inches at the edges of the rolls.


4. 4) Secure the coir 700 matting with staples or stakes*. Stake installers are a helpful time-saver for the installation crew.


5. 5) Back fill the trenches at the top and bottom.

Please see our Coir Mat Installation Guide (PDF) for more coir mat 700 installation details.

Note:Biodegradable stakes are also available to secure the coir 700 matting for soil erosion to the hillside. When installing this coir geotextile for erosion control, choose between wooden stakes or biodegradable stakes made from recycled plastics and polymers. These stakes last on average 24-36 months in the field before naturally decomposing. Contact us to see just how easily our coir mat price fits into your project budget!

Coconut coir mats 700 are practical as an affordable green construction option on slopes of 2:1 where it is often difficult for vegetation to take hold. The 50% open weave gives plants room to grow through the coir mat, while also providing support and protection from the elements. With the coir mat 700, landscaping projects also benefit; It stabilizes the soil, provides a favorable environment for new plants to grow, and helps hold moisture in the soil.

Coir 700 matting's biodegradable mattress is constructed from coir fiber gathered in the coconut harvesting process. The coir fabric's netting is also biodegradable and made from coir fibers. Together, this makes erosion control matting an environmentally friendly BMP that enriches the soil while controlling erosion.

Use coir 700 matting in the following municipal and landscaping applications:

• Wetland restoration
• High flow channels
• Vegetative support
• Soil stabilization
• Streambank restoration
• Slope stabilization
• Hillside and shoreline erosion control
