Coir Products

Coir blankets are natural fiber mats designed to stabilize soil and prevent erosion on exposed slopes, embankments, and disturbed land. Made from durable coconut coir fibers, these mats are especially effective when used with vegetation, providing 2 to 6 years of support while plants take root.

How coir blankets work

• Open-weave design: Allows for seeding before or after blanket placement
• Soil stabilization: Holds soil in place during rainfall and runoff
• Biodegradable support: Gradually decomposes as vegetation matures

The appropriate coir blanket depends on two key site conditions: Slope gradient and Water flow intensity, matching the blanket's density to your terrain ensures optimal performance and durability.

A proven solution for municipalities

Coir blankets are frequently used by municipalities during infrastructure and construction projects to:

• Control on-site erosion
• Promote revegetation
• Beautify public spaces naturally

Because coir products decompose over time, they eliminate removal costs and simplify post-project cleanup, saving time and resources.

Coir Blanket Specifications

One Clarion offers four types of coir blankets with differing densities. Choose the model best for your project based on the slope and flow of the landscape.

Coir Logs are biodegradable fiber rolls made from natural coconut husk fibers. They form protective barriers along hillsides, streambanks, and shorelines, helping to rebuild eroded terrain and support long-term stabilization through vegetation regrowth.

Why use coir logs?

• Rebuild lost land along riverbanks and coastlines
• Support native vegetation by holding soil in place
• Biodegradable and eco-friendly, with a service life of 2–5 years

These logs provide critical support in the early stages of landscape restoration, giving plants and soil time to take hold before the coir naturally breaks down.

Common applications

Parks and Recreation departments frequently use coir logs for:

• Creek and stream restoration
• Wetland buffer zones
• Shoreline protection in public parks
• Environmentally sensitive areasl

Their natural appearance and biodegradability make them ideal for sustainable, non-invasive erosion control.

Coir log product options

One Clarion offers multiple coir log configurations to suit varying project demands:

Standard density coir logs

• Ideal for moderate slopes and average flow conditions
• 100% coir fiber, encased in 2" x 2" coir netting
• Fully biodegradable and budget-friendly
• Supports vegetation while gradually decomposing
• Recommended for general-use erosion control and slope stabilization

High density coir logs

• Built for rigorous terrain and high-flow environments
• Encased in durable rhombic coir netting
• Provides maximum field longevity and structural stability
• Ideal for demanding conditions such as:
  • Streambanks
  • Lakeshores
  • Steep slopes

Pre-drilled coir logs

• Designed for faster, easier installation
• Pre-drilled slots spaced approximately every 2 feet
  • Use fewer stakes
  • Accommodate seedling planting
• Available in both standard and high-density models, in various diameters and lengths

Coir Logs Specifications

Our coir logs are available in a variety of diameters and lengths to support different landscaping sizes and needs, depending on water flows and slope size.

Coir wattles function similarly to erosion control logs but with one key difference: lower internal density. This makes wattles more flexible and better suited for filtration, especially in areas that require adaptable sediment control.

Key benefits of coir wattles:

• Flexible design adapts to uneven terrain
• Improved filtration for capturing runoff sediments
• Lightweight and easy to position on site

Ideal applications

• Create site perimeter controls
• Protect storm drains and inlets
• Prevent sediment runoff into public areas

These applications help minimize environmental impact, reduce cleanup costs, and avoid pollution fines for municipalities and contractors.

Coir Wattle Specifications

Clarion Municipal offers two diameters and lengths to provide a suitable size for your project's requirements.

Coir Blocks

Our coir blocks are rectangular erosion control solutions well suited to shoreline and riverbank restoration. Blocks can be stacked in layers or walls to create solid rows of support along the problem areas. They are particularly effective in controlling erosion and promoting vegetation growth around environmentally sensitive areas, such as wetlands, streams, and local canals.

Coir Silt Checks

Silt checks use both coir blankets and wattle to create a filtration check dam. The wattle sits on the blanket with about a foot showing on either side. The extra filtration of the blanket helps contain sediment and silt during high water flows and assists in slowing the water velocity.
