Natural coir netting for the places that need a little extra care

A newly planted bank, a sloping garden border or a patch of exposed earth can need more than plants alone. CoirProducts® Coir Netting provides an open, woven layer of coconut fibre that can be laid over prepared soil and secured in place to help limit surface movement while vegetation takes hold.

It is a straightforward material with a distinctive character: robust, fibrous and at home in naturalistic garden and landscape settings. Rather than hiding the ground beneath an impermeable covering, the open mesh allows planting to grow through it.

Why choose coir netting?

• Made with woven coconut fibre for a naturally textured finish.
• Open-mesh construction allows planting to emerge through the netting.
• Useful for suitable banks, slopes, planted edges and exposed soil surfaces.
• Can be cut and positioned to follow the contours of a landscape.
• Available in different purchasing sizes; select according to your project requirements.

Where it works well

Consider coir netting for garden slopes, planted embankments, landscaping works and areas where a temporary surface layer is appropriate while vegetation establishes. It may also be used in selected garden craft or plant-support applications, provided the mesh strength, opening size and fixing method suit the intended load.

For steep slopes, flowing water, high-velocity runoff or civil engineering applications, product grade and installation design matter. Seek project-specific guidance rather than choosing by appearance alone.

How to install coir netting

1. Prepare the surface. Remove loose debris and shape the ground to the required profile. Complete any seeding or planting preparation appropriate to the project.
2. Roll out the netting. Lay it in the specified direction, keeping the mesh in close contact with the soil rather than suspended over hollows.
3. Anchor securely. Use suitable fixing pins or pegs, with fixing density, overlaps and edge anchoring determined by slope, soil and site conditions.
4. Finish planting and inspect. Check for loose edges or lifted sections, especially after heavy rain. Maintain the planting as it establishes.

For professional installations, follow a project-specific specification for overlaps, trenching, fixing intervals and drainage details.

Choose the right size

The online listing offers a size selector, but the accessible page does not identify the individual widths, lengths or mesh grades. Display each option as “width × length — coverage in m²” and, where applicable, its nominal weight (gsm). This is particularly important across the broad price range.
