EkoCover - Recommended laying and pinning pocedures
When first laid, EkoCover mulch mat is quite rigid. In applications where the product is not being covered by decorative mulch such as bark or river stones for example, there is a risk, particularly in high wind areas of the product suffering damage unless it is securely pinned to the ground. Very exposed areas may require EkoCover jute reinforced mat, to ensure long term stability and durability. Within a relatively short period EkoCover absorbs moisture, becomes malleable, contours to the soil surface and bonds to it over time. At that point the risk of wind damage to the mat is minimal however in the early stages of the product life, pinning and securing is very important.
The following instructions are therefore critical in obtaining the maximum benefit from EkoCover.
