Growtivation GroundteX Woven Geo Fabric Midi Roll 2m x 25m Roll

Groundtex Black Woven Geotextile Fabric - 2m x 25m

A good ‘all round’ or multi-purpose geo fabric that can be used for weed suppression and ground stabilisation in both soft and hard landscaping schemes. GROUNDTEX is a tough woven fabric which successfully meets the requirements for use above ground as a heavy duty weed barrier. Due to its excellent strength and tear resistance, GROUNDTEX can also be used below ground as a stabilising and separating geotextile in groundwork and civil engineering applications. GROUNDTEX can be used beneath MOT Type 1 or 3 aggregate, sharp/angular stone and gravel including areas subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Prepare the area where the fabric is to be laid by strimming any existing vegetation down to ground level.
2. Remove any stalks or sharp objects that could pierce the fabric.
3. For areas badly affected by weed growth, apply a suitable weedkiller.
4. Lay the GROUNDTEX fabric out and ensure joints are overlapped by a minimum of 100mm.
5. Secure using EXTRAFIX fixing pegs. The best way to secure the edges of the fabric is by ‘spitting’ or ‘trenching’ the fabric 100-150mm into the soil.
6. Cover the fabric with a layer of bark or other mulch or decorative stone/aggregates by a minimum of 50mm.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Excavate soil (sub-grade) to the required depth (allowing for sufficient depth of sub-base, base course layer and the surface finish e.g. block paviours, tarmac etc, including any base layer required for these - depths of each layer will vary depending on the intended use e.g. pedestrian/vehicle use, light/heavy use).
2. Lay GROUNDTEX fabric out and ensure joints are overlapped by a minimum of 300mm (overlaps should be kept to a minimum).
3. Secure using EXTRAFIX fixing pegs.
4. Lay sub-base layer over the fabric and compact using a compacting plate or roller.
5. Following installation of the sub-base, base layers (e.g. bedding sand for block paving) for the surface finish can be laid.
