Natural fibre protection for the places that need it

A pond edge beginning to wear away. A planted bank that needs time to establish. A landscape where a softer, natural-looking edge is preferred. Coir logs offer a practical way to introduce a fibrous roll into a carefully designed erosion-control scheme.

CoirProducts® Coir Logs use coconut coir fibre in a cylindrical form, making them suitable for consideration in a range of garden and landscaping applications. The right result depends on the site, the log specification and, importantly, how the logs are installed.

Where coir logs can be used

• Pond margins – for suitable edge treatments and planted pond-side projects.
• Watercourse banks –  as one component of an appropriately designed bank-protection scheme.
• Landscape restoration – to help define edges and support vegetation establishment where site conditions permit.
• Garden slopes and drainage features – where a coir roll is specified as part of a wider erosion-control approach.

Why choose coir?

Coir is a robust, naturally fibrous material with a distinctive texture that sits comfortably in planted landscapes. In log form, it provides a physical roll that can be positioned along an edge and secured in place. Over time, its performance and service life will depend on exposure, water movement, site conditions and the exact construction of the product.

Choose the right size for your project

Select a diameter and length to suit the bank profile, water conditions and required coverage. A larger log is not automatically the better choice: stability, positioning and the correct fixing arrangement are equally important. Check the dimensions and specification of the selected variation before ordering.

Installing coir logs

Prepare the site and establish a stable line for the logs. Position each roll against the intended edge, avoiding unsupported gaps beneath it. Secure with suitable stakes, pegs or another engineered anchoring arrangement appropriate to the ground and hydraulic conditions. Where logs meet, follow the project detail for joints and overlaps. Backfill and plant as specified, then inspect after heavy rainfall or high flows.

For flowing water, steep banks, public infrastructure or other higher-risk sites, seek site-specific professional advice. Coir logs are not a substitute for hydraulic or geotechnical design.
