Jute Mesh is a fully biodegradable organic product made from jute which is a derivative of hessian. Specifically designed to act as an erosion control mat, jute mesh creates an environment which promotes rapid natural plant growth.
It is ideal for installation on a levelled soil subgrade. At least 60mm of topsoil is recommended to encourage plant growth. Jute mesh is easy to roll out and install, simply laying it over the terrain without applying tension, and overlapping each row of mesh by around 100mm. Jute mesh is ideal for applications such as grass establishment, coastal areas, wetlands and natural revegetation.
Each roll measures 1.2 metres wide x 68 metres long, enabling quick and easy coverage of large areas.
Ideal for:
Grass establishment
Coastal areas
Natural revegetation areas
Wetlands
Features:
68 metres long x 1.2 m wide
485gsm fabric weight
Also available in a 550 metre long variant
Installation Guide
Prepare The Site:
Area preparation is crucial before installation. Remove all rocks, greenery and rubble to ensure you create a levelled soil subgrade for the Mesh to be placed on.
To grow plants or grass through the mesh, at least 60mm of top soil is necessary to encourage their growth and survival.
Install Jute Mesh:
When installing EROmasta™ Jute Mesh you should follow the below recommendations; Lay in direction of the flow of water
Overlap mesh to protect leading edges from the flow of water and wind by at least 100mm.
When installing on embankments, a trench at least 200mm is required at the top to lay mesh into, pin down and backfill. Pins should be 500-750mm apart.
As a general rule 2-3 pins are required per square metre.
Allow the mesh to follow the natural contour of the terrain - do not apply tension to the mesh when laying. This will prevent suitable connection with the soil subgrade and could affect vegetation growth.
