Groundtex is a heavy-duty, woven geotextile membrane designed for various landscaping applications. It’s made from high-quality polypropylene, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear and tear. This membrane is typically used to suppress weeds and provide soil stabilisation, in both domestic and commercial projects.
Whether you are using membrane under your children’s play area before adding our Play Grade Chip, Bark, or Sand, or beneath bark or aggregates, be sure to follow the installation guidelines.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
(for use as a heavy duty weed control membrane)
1. Prepare the area where the fabric is to be laid by strimming any existing vegetation down to ground level.
2. Remove any stalks or sharp objects that could pierce the fabric.
3. For areas badly affected by weed growth, apply a suitable weedkiller.
4. Lay the GROUNDTEX fabric out and ensure joints are overlapped by a minimum of 100mm.
5. Secure using EXTRAFIX fixing pegs. The best way to secure the edges of the fabric is by ‘spitting’ or ‘trenching’ the fabric 100-150mm into the soil.
6. Place potted plants on to the fabric, using the lines to determine an equal distance between rows.
WEEDS
GROUNDTEX will suppress most weeds but particular attention should be paid to very invasive weeds/ grasses such as Mare’s Tail, Bindweed, Crocosmia, Ground Elder, Couch Grass, nettles, brambles and some bulbs. A weedkiller should be applied first and then we would recommend laying a double layer of GROUNDTEX
PLASTIC FIXING PEGS
The perfect partner when buying membrane is fixing pegs; they help secure the membrane into the ground.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Pierce fabric with point of peg and hammer peg fully home using a wooden or rubber mallet.
APPLICATIONS: Use plastic fixing pegs to secure Groundtex Membrane
