600 GSM
A step up from 400 GSM where the light grade feels too open but the site does not need the full weight of 700. Published reference figures for this weight are less standardised, so every value is confirmed on the lot test report.
- Weight600 g/m²

Best for
- Moderate slopes and embankments
- Sites where 400 GSM is too open
- General landscaping with more protection
- Light, intermittent run-off

How much do you need?
Allows about 15 cm side and 20 cm end overlaps. Add extra for anchor trenches and cutting. Weight is nominal fabric weight before packing.

Laying it right
- 01Prepare and seedGrade smooth and remove rocks and debris, which can lift the mesh. Seed before or after laying, except 900 GSM, which is seeded first.
- 02Anchor trenchesCut trenches about 30 cm deep and 15 cm wide at the top and ends. Pin the roll in the top trench, backfill and compact.
- 03Roll downhillUnroll in the direction water flows, loosely, so the mesh follows the ground. Overlap about 15 cm side to side and 20 cm end to end.
- 04Pin it downU-pins about 15 cm or J-hooks about 22 cm of 3 mm wire, or wooden pegs, about 50–75 cm apart and 30–50 cm along overlaps.

About 600 GSM
Why are there no reference figures for 600 GSM?
Public specifications usually publish 400, 700 and 900 GSM. 600 GSM sits between them, so we confirm its open area and strength on the test report for your lot rather than quote borrowed numbers.
When should I choose 600 over 700?
When slopes are moderate and water flow is light. If the slope is steep or water runs along the surface, 700 is the safer choice.
How much does a roll weigh?
The fabric weighs 0.6 kg per square metre, so a 2 × 50 m roll is about 60 kg before packing.
