Properties of the 450 g coconut mats from Aquagart

Our coconut mats 450 g are made of 100 percent natural fibre coconut and are a genuine natural product. The rolls have a width of 1.0 m and a mesh size of approx. 15 mm x 15 mm. If required, you can also purchase the 450 g coconut mat by the metre, with cuts available in lengths from 5 m to 250 m. The basis weight is approximately 450 g/m². The 450 g coconut mats provide natural erosion protection and impress with their stability and tear resistance. Their simple and convenient installation makes them a practical solution. The tightly interwoven coconut fibres also protect the pond liner.

Coconut mats 450 g are made from coconut fibres, which are organic material obtained from the outer shell of coconuts. This means that these embankment mats are made from sustainable and natural raw materials. The roots are supported by the coarse-meshed fabric, which additionally supports the slope over time through the root system.

How to install coir matting 450 g

First, lay out the coir mat 450 g on a slope or on the pond bank in the desired location. It is crucial to securely fasten the mat to prevent it from slipping. The 450 g coconut mat is best fixed to the ground with fixing anchors, which are available as nails made of wood or steel and are available in lengths from 200 mm to 400 mm. Make sure that there is no connection to the pond surroundings to prevent unwanted water being sucked out of the pond.

The optimum width of the 450 g coconut mat depends on the depth of the pond, especially the top terrace of the garden pond. For example, if this is 10 to 20 cm below the water surface, a bank mat with a width of 60 to 70 cm is sufficient. However, it is advisable to purchase a wider mat and then cut it to the desired width using a cutter knife. For terraces that are deeper, a wider coconut mat of over one metre should be used. Steep and low-lying terraces can be easily covered with the rolled-out 450 g coconut mat. If there are curves, you can simply level out the unevenness by cutting out a triangle at this point. Wider strips can also be laid crosswise.

Use of coir mats 450 g

Use for pond construction

Coco matting 450 g beautifies your pond and is particularly suitable as embankment matting for steep banks due to its firm fibre weave. The surface weight ensures a stable hold on the slope. In addition, coco mats 450 g protect the pond liner from harmful UV radiation, preventing cracks and rapid ageing.

Our long-lasting coco mats 450 g enable selected plants that take longer to take root to form a stable root system. This makes it much easier to create plants. There is a risk of erosion on man-made embankments as long as there is no vegetation. When the coir mat finally rots, it is up to the roots to hold the soil and protect it from erosion.

Coconut matting 450 g as frost protection in the garden

Coconut matting 450 g can also be used as covering in the garden to protect the soil from light frost. They also protect your plants from freezing temperatures by simply wrapping them in 450 g coconut mats. This method is suitable for both garden and potted plants. Simply tie the 450 g coconut mat around the trunk or roots to protect these areas from the wind and cold and provide natural winter protection. Alternatively, Wintervlies can also be used.

Other possible uses for coconut mats 450 g

Coco mats 450 g are ideal for use as doormats or advertising mats. When they are made into doormats, they are mainly used as doormats and are placed in front of or behind the door. Some coir mats have an integrated wire mesh to provide more weight and prevent slipping. Nevertheless, pure coconut mats are considered more durable and natural in appearance.

It is important to ensure that all coco mats are made from 100 per cent natural fibres, as mixed fabrics or chemical additives can potentially harm vegetation and fish. Alternatively, you can also use our jute fabric as an environmentally friendly embankment mat, which is also made from 100 percent natural fibres.
