Coconut Coir Logs

Coconut Fiber Geotextiles

Granite™ Coconut Coir Logs (www.coir-logs.com or www.coirwattles.com) are strong and flexible. These are compact coir cores which form a Coir Web for superior filtration, covered by exterior coir mesh netting. Coir logs aid in the stabilization and re-vegetation of sites where you encounter steep slopes or exposure to waves along or currents which cause instability on a site.

The Granite™ coconut fiber logs are designed to help them to withstand wave impact and stormwater sheetflow forces without deformation or loss of material ensuring maximum erosion prevention. Granite™ Coir Logs enhance plant growth and microbial activity. In flowing water areas, the coir logs are placed directly on the bank, often retaining fill material or securing new channel alignment. In standing water, the Coir Logs are placed offshore to break waves and encourage sedimentation and revegetation. Coir Logs collect and hold mineral and organic particles, provide a stable substrate which promotes root growth, and slowly biodegrade to leave a self maintaining erosion prevention system.

Granite™ Coconut Coir Logs are made from 100% Decorticated Coconut (Coir) Fibers compressed in a tubular Coir Mesh Netting. The outer high tensile strength Coir Mesh Netting is hand knotted at distances 1.77” x 2.17” in the machine & cross direction for superior performance even in the most challenging conditions.

Why Use Granite™ brand Coconut Coir Logs

• Coir has high tensile strength which protects steep surfaces from heavy flows and debris movement.

• Coir Geotextile has three to five years longevity which allows for full plant and soil establishment, natural invasion and land stabilization.

• Being 100% natural and bio-degradable, coir fiber functions as a soil amendment

• Water absorbent coir fiber acts as mulch on the surface and as a wick in the soil mantle.

• The excellent microclimate coir provides for plant establishment, natural invasion and balanced healthy growth.

• Coir meshes provides restoration of terrestrial and aquatic riparian habitat.

• Coir has the characteristic of being environmentally responsible and aesthetically pleasing.

• Capable of being customized to specific requirements/technical specifications according to the topographical conditions.

• Faster binding of soil

• Naturally resistant to mold & rot, hence needs no chemical treatment

• Excellent air and water permeability

• Enough sunlight passes through

• Holds the seeds and saplings in place

• Excellent medium for quick vegetation

• Degrades over a period of time 2 to 5 years

• Allows for deep rooting of plants and provides nutrients

• Easy to install and follows the contour of the soil surface

• Eco-friendly and non-polluting
