Description
Coir logs are tubes filled with coconut fibre that are tightly packed, and then bound with coir netting. Coir logs are 100% biodegradable, perfectly blending in with the natural environment and habitat for both plants and animals. Ideal for establishing vegetation, managing water velocity changes in streams and rivers, stabilising shorelines and shaping channels.
Often used in and around open drains to slow water runoff, produce a natural wall or protection barrier for surrounding plants and soil, and capture sediment in drainage lines and swales.
Coir logs can also be used for sediment entrapment, wave and wind protection of:
- Environmentally sensitive areas where there is a requirement for the product to naturally break down and blend into the natural surroundings
- River banks and streams
- Coastal shorelines, where it can also be used as an alternative to rip rap along shoreline structures
- Swale drains
- Steep slopes and gullies where the installation of silt fence would be difficult
- Open drains along roads where water and sediment can be captured
- Gutters and footpaths
