{"product_id":"coir-mat","title":"Coir Mat","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoir mat is made from the natural fibres found on coconut husks - one of the toughest plant-based materials available. It locks soil in place, retains moisture, and shields the ground from wind and heat, giving seeds the stable environment they need to germinate and establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReliable Erosion Control on Slopes, Banks and Waterways\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoir matting performs well in demanding conditions. On embankments, steep slopes, riverbanks, lake shores, landfill sites, and coastal areas, it holds disturbed ground together while new vegetation takes root. Even in fast-flowing water - creeks, drains, and stormwater channels - the open-weave structure stays anchored and maintains its integrity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOutlasts Jute. Breaks Down Naturally.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoir mat lasts 2–5 years outdoors, significantly longer than jute alternatives. It resists rot, mould, and saltwater without any chemical treatment. Once vegetation is established, the mat gradually biodegrades and becomes part of the soil - no removal required, no waste left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLight, Fast and Easy to Install\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightweight construction means less labour on site. Rolls are easy to handle, cut, and pin into place - reducing installation time and keeping project costs down. Available in 300gsm and 450gsm weights to suit different site conditions and erosion risk levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso Available: Coir Mat with Jute Threading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sites that need extra early-stage stability, coir matting with jute threading adds a second layer of performance. The jute threads bind the mat firmly to the ground while plants establish, then break down alongside the coir once vegetation is secure. This version also acts as a roll-on mulch - it traps soil moisture, regulates temperature, and suppresses weeds. You can cut planting holes directly through the mat, making it practical for revegetation and planting projects without removing the matting first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 300gsm or 450gsm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% natural and biodegradable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally strong coconut fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent ground erosion control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResistant to rot, mould, and saltwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for slopes, waterways, revegetation, and coastal sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and easy to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifespan: 2–5 years outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available with jute threading for enhanced ground stabilisation and mulching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"otQkpb\" aria-level=\"3\" role=\"heading\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif;
