GardenMate 2m x 5m sheet woven weed control fabric - UV stabilised 100gsm landscape ground cover membrane

The first time I bought this product was back in 2014, so I can say it’s been down long enough to know if it’s any good.Although the product has been down for many years I occasionally need to cut a hole in the material to plant a new scrub, and the material seems as strong to cut now as it did the day I put it down. The material is therefore definitely durable and well up to withstanding the conditions for which it was designed, unlike a fabric material I previously used for the beds which rotted away after a couple of years. To give readers an idea of the thickness, I’d say it’s very similar to a tent groundsheet.Birds and other wildlife have a tendency to move around whatever you cover it with whilst looking for bugs, and although this occasionally exposes the fabric to the elements it hasn’t caused any problems. The only annoying thing I noticed was that some previously cut edges had a tendency to fray and stick up. The woven geotextile material is obviously prone to fraying due to the way it is manufactured, so I changed the way I laid the fabric down on my second bed which eradicated the problem (See tips on installing).PROS:• Allows water to filter through• Effective against regular weeds• Easy to unroll and lay down• Can be cut with regular scissors• Comes in a size which should cover most bedsCONS:• Edges will fray over time if you simply cut themTIPS ON INSTALATION:• Weeding is not usually necessary unless you have an invasive type like horseweed, in which case you are advised to treat the area first to eradicate it. It is important to note that any untreated horseweed type weeds WILL eventually come through no matter how much overlapping you do.• Prepare the surface by removing large stones, twigs, and then treading down any lumps of soil by walking over it.• Ensure the edges of the bed you are covering is sufficiently low enough to lay the material and its covering, and still be lower than the grass. If necessary, use a spade to move earth away. If you don’t, you’ll forever be raking whatever you placed on top back off the lawn.• Overlapping material by at foot is sufficient to prevent all regular weeds from coming through. When overlapping the edges you should make sure you do so in the same direction. This way you can throw the bark in the direction of the overlapping material without it lifting up.• Stretch the material before putting in the pegs to secure it. Leaving it loose will allow your top material to get under the material which looks unsightly and can allow weeds to come through.• When doing border edges cut the material 6 inches longer than needed and then neatly tuck it underneath before securing both layers with a peg. Edges which are cut exactly to the border will fray over time and look unsightly.+5 yearClient recently asked me to plant a dozen shrubs into the beds where this covering was installed ten years ago, and the fabric was just as good as the day I installed it.

Seems decent. Although as the other reviews said it did fray when cut, but I just tucked frayed edges underneath so not visible, I’ve only had it down a week so time will tell if weeds come through!Worked good with stones for a mud patch that was on the edge of my drive forever covered in weeds

Really good and low for your money

Used to put slate chippings on a bed. Works well, easy to use.Being a ‘raffia’ type product cutting does cause created edges - but simply cut slightly wider and fold edges underneath

I was over the moon by the quality of the item. I would highly recommend to others that are looking to do the same and to buy This product from this seller. Amazing quality for the money also

Not worth the money. Weeds have no issue breaking through this

This is thick, and much better at the job than another one I bought. No signs of weeds coming through month later. (There is with the other product). It's almost plasticy as well, so I think will last longer. Happy with product!! Going to take away the other stuff in another area and replace with this.

I bought this to stop weeds in my flower garden, after 3 months later the weeds come out . Not really good.

Zoals gezegd, veel doek voor deze prijs, maar het rafelen is verschrikkelijk. Na snijden/knippen ligt heel de tuin vol lange zwarte draden. De draden aan de gesneden/geknipte kanten komen namelijk heel snel los. na een paar weken zien deze er ook niet meer uit.
