Properties of jute fabric 305 g

The 305 g jute fabric from Aquagart is a natural product as it is made entirely from natural fibres. The sheets are one metre wide and have a basis weight of around 305 g/m². The use of 305 g jute fabric provides a natural erosion protection layer for the soil. The fabric is characterised by high stability and tear resistance, which makes it easy and convenient to install. The tightly interwoven jute fibres also protect the sensitive pond liner.

Originally, "jute" referred to the bast fibres of the Indian Corchorus plants. Nowadays it is a general term for the bast fibres of various Corchorus plants that grow in humid tropical climates and can grow up to four metres high. Outwardly, they resemble a giant herb, from whose stems the jute fibres are obtained

Install the 305 g jute fabric quickly after delivery

If you have created an artificial embankment in your garden or near roads, the 305 g jute fabric should be installed as soon as possible, as the lack of vegetation, including root growth, can easily erode it. This also applies to newly created earth banks. Here you not only benefit from the fact that the jute fabric prevents the soil from slipping. The transverse fibres are also held together by a top and bottom net and are therefore ideal for sowing seeds.

To lay the 305 g jute fabric, place it along the desired slope or pond bank. Firm anchoring is essential to prevent the fabric from slipping. We recommend using fastening anchors made of wood or steel and lengths of 200 mm to 400 mm.

How to install the 305 g jute fabric

To avoid mistakes, we recommend that you first determine the required width of the 305 g jute fabric. If you want to use the fabric for pond construction purposes, you should include the bank terraces in your calculation. The 305 g jute fabric should be cut to the same length as the pond bank and the width is determined by the dimensions of the bank terrace, the bank wall and the suction barrier.

Then unroll the 305 g jute fabric over the entire area to be covered. Protruding parts can be cut off with scissors or a carpet knife, taking care not to damage the pond liner. Then attach the anchors or alternatively use large, heavy stones to fix the fabric. We recommend the use of sand and gravel or porous lava stone to cover the 305 g jute fabric. The latter helps to filter the water and promotes rapid plant growth.

In the last step, sow the seeds on the 305 g jute fabric. Here you have the option of varying between different types of flowers and moss. However, make sure that you place the plants in the pond according to their needs to ensure harmonious growth and a healthy exchange of nutrients. This allows you to create natural planting without the plants having to compete for the same nutrients

The suitable use of jute fabric 305 g

Jute fabric 305 g for the garden pond

The 305 g jute fabric gives your garden pond an attractive appearance. Thanks to its low weight, it is particularly suitable for fastening in shallow or gently sloping ponds. It also stores a considerable amount of water and protects the underlying pond liner from possible damage. The 305 g jute fabric effectively prevents tears in the film and delays its ageing.

Another advantage of 305 g jute fabric is that it enables plants to form a stable root system, making it easier for plants to establish themselves. If the 305 g jute fabric rots after a few years, the soil will still be protected as the plants' root system takes over its function.

Jute fabric 305 g as frost protection

Similar to covering tarpaulins, 305 g jute fabric can be used as frost protection in the garden. It protects the soil from light frost, while providing plants and shrubs with a barrier against the icy temperatures. This method is suitable for both the garden and potted plants. Simply tie the 305 g jute fabric around the trunk to create natural winter protection. Wintervlies is also a good alternative for this purpose.

Other applications of jute fabric 305 g

Jute fabric 305 g is also used as packaging material, for example in robust jute sacks. As an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic bags, it is being used more and more frequently in everyday life. Jute fabric 305 g can also be processed into speciality paper, coarse yarn and carpets. Jute, as a renewable raw material, successfully competes with domestic natural fibres such as flax and hemp in fibre composites.

When using jute fabric 305 g, it is important to ensure that it is made from 100 percent natural fibres. Chemical additives in mixed fabrics could harm the plants and the fish. As an alternative to jute fabric, we also offer coconut mats as embankment mats, which are also made from 100 per cent natural fibres.
