01 · Woven Coir Geotextile
Built to hold topsoil, seed and slope
Woven coir geotextile, also sold as coir netting, coir mesh or coir bhoovastra, is an open-weave mesh of twisted coir yarn, spun from coconut husk fibre and woven on automatic and manual looms. Laid over bare soil, it holds topsoil and seed in place, breaks the force of rain and slows the water running across the surface.
The open weave lets seedlings grow straight through. As the roots knit the soil together, the coir breaks down and returns to the ground, leaving established vegetation and nothing synthetic behind.

Why it works
What woven geotextile does on site.
Holds the Ground
Keeps topsoil and seed in place on bare, newly graded slopes.
Slows Runoff
Breaks rain impact and slows water moving across the surface.
Plants Grow Through
The open weave lets seedlings root straight through the mesh.
Holds Moisture
Coir absorbs water, keeping the seedbed damp for germination.
Follows the Ground
Drapes closely over uneven surfaces with no gaps for water to find.
Easy to Lay
Cut to shape on site and pinned down with simple hand tools.
Returns to the Soil
Breaks down once vegetation takes over. No plastic left behind.
Export-Ready Rolls
HDPE-wrapped and labelled by grade and lot.

How woven coir compares
The right material depends on the slope, the water and how long protection is needed. Here is where woven coir sits.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Twisted coir yarn, open weave | Loose coir fibre held in netting | Jute yarn, open weave | Polypropylene mesh or mat |
| Strength | High | Low to medium | Low to medium | High |
| Field life | Several years, climate-dependent | Up to ~3 years | Typically 1–2 years | Decades |
| Water absorption | High | High | High | Low |
| Ground cover | Open: plants grow through | Full cover | Open | Varies |
| End of life | Biodegrades into the soil | Biodegrades | Biodegrades | Persists; can shed microplastics |

Installation
Installed in four steps
Standard practice for this product. Your project drawings and local specifications always take priority.
- 01
Prepare the ground
Grade the slope, remove stones, roots and clods, then seed and fertilise so the mesh can sit in full contact with the soil.
- 02
Anchor the top
Bury the top edge in a trench about 15 cm deep at the crest, pin it, backfill and compact.
- 03
Roll down the slope
Unroll downhill, not across, keeping the mesh in contact with the soil. Overlap neighbouring rolls by about 10–15 cm.
- 04
Pin it down
Fix with U-pins or wooden pegs in a grid, closer on steeper slopes and along every overlap and edge.
Natural erosion control for every edge, slope and shoreline your project has to hold.

Woven coir geotextile is specified wherever bare soil has to hold until vegetation can take over.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is woven coir geotextile made of?
Coir yarn spun from the fibre of coconut husks, woven into an open mesh. It is entirely natural fibre, with nothing synthetic woven in.
How long does it last on site?
Coir is one of the most durable natural fibres, but service life depends on climate, moisture and the grade used. It is designed to protect the soil while vegetation establishes, then break down. Tell us your site conditions and we will recommend a grade to match.
Which grade does my site need?
It depends mainly on slope steepness and whether water flows over the area. Lighter grades suit gentle slopes and landscaping; heavier grades suit steep cuttings, channels and banks. Try the Grade Finder or send us your site data.
What roll sizes are available?
Standard rolls are 2, 3 or 4 m wide and 25 or 50 m long. Other sizes are made to order, and we help you choose the roll size that wastes least on your area.
Can plants grow through it?
Yes. The open weave is the point: seed is sown under or over the mesh and seedlings root straight through it.
How is it packed for export?
Each roll is HDPE-wrapped and labelled by grade and lot. Independent lot test reports can travel with the shipment on request.
Are coir netting, coir mesh and coir geotextile the same?
Usually, yes. Woven coir geotextile is the technical name. Coir netting, coir mesh, coconut netting and, in India, coir bhoovastra are trade names for the same open-weave product. Compare offers by weight (GSM) and test values rather than by name.
How is coir netting priced?
By the square metre, for each grade. The price depends on the GSM, roll size, order quantity, packing and the port of delivery. Send us your area, grade and destination for a quotation.
