- COCONUT FABRIC reinforced with PP mesh, weight 350 g and tensile strength of approx. 1.55 kN/m; suitable for flat surfaces as a mulch and for slopes with an inclination up to and including 2:1. Exceptionally, it can also be used for an inclination of 1:1, but the length of the bank should not exceed 20 m.
- COCONUT MESH, window size 3.5x3.5 cm, thickness 5 mm, weight 400 g and tensile strength of approx. 8.0 kN/m; it is mainly used on medium steep slopes. Applicable on slopes with inclination up to and including 2:1. It is also used at an inclination of 1:1, but the length of the bank should not exceed 20 m.
- COCONUT MESH, window size 2x2 cm, thickness 5 mm, weight 700 g and tensile strength of approx. 9.1 kN/m; suitable for all types and inclinations up to and including 1:1. This product is also used for channels and shores where the other two products are usually not appropriate.
To stabilise the laid coconut fabric or mesh, we need metal wedges. As a rule, 3-5 wedges are used per m2 (steel wedge 40 cm x 10 cm x 40 cm). Smaller wedges made of galvanised or zinced metal 15 cm x 3 cm x 15 cm can be used on reinforced banks where there are no fresh earth slips or on flat surfaces. If necessary, they can also be used in combination, larger and smaller wedges. In the case of technically demanding or more complex banks, consider larger quantities depending on the actual condition of the terrain.

SLOPES/ BANKS
- Level and smooth the slope. Apply fertiliser and seeds before applying the cover (it can also be applied after laying it).
- Anchor the covers on the top of the slope. Use mode "A" for slopes of inclination 4: 1, "B" for slopes of inclination 3: 1 and "C" for slopes of inclination 2: 1 or more.
- Unwrap the covers in the direction of the water flow. Gently position them so that they have full contact with the soil.
- Clamp the cover edges so that they overlap at least 5 cm. Note: position the covers in such a way that the part that overlaps is facing away from the prevailing wind.
- Clamp the ends of the covers with 5 clips (mode "A") by overlapping the edges.
- Cut off the excess of the cover with scissors and anchor it at the end of the slope. Use mode "A" for slopes of inclination 4: 1 and "B" for slopes of inclination 3: 1 or more.
CHANNELS
- Elevate and smooth the channels. Apply fertiliser and seeds before applying the cover (it can also be applied after laying it).
- Anchor the covers at the top of the slope (»B«). Fill the gap with suitable material. For outflow to the channels, set the cover at least 30 cm in front of the channel pipe opening. Position the cover in the middle of the channel in the direction of the water flow. Position additional covers on the edges of the cover in the middle.
- Build the gaps from soil, gravel or stones in the middle (13-14 m apart) and at the end of each cover.
- Fasten the side cover so that the edges reach 10 cm beyond the edges of the cover in the middle.
- Anchor the upper edge of the side covers ("B").
- Anchor the end of the covers into the gaps.
SHORES
- Level and smooth the channel. Apply fertiliser and seeds before applying the cover (it can also be applied after laying it).
- Position the covers at the lowest water level.
- Position the covers horizontally with the shore if one length of the cover is long enough.
- Attach the top edge of the cover ("B").
- Cover and clamp the ends of the cover (“A”).
- Anchor the bottom edge of the cover (“B”).
- For slopes of shores that are steeper than 1: 3, position the cover vertically using the instructions for slopes.
