Pre-Drilled Coir Fiber Logs

Coir fiber logs are 100 percent biodegradable and provide a natural protection system. Coir rolls for erosion control offer a natural protection system for plants to take root in, creating natural erosion control through vegetation. For steep slopes and hillsides in need of erosion control, coir fiber logs offer hillside stabilization as well as lake bank stabilization when flood waters rip away riverbanks and lake banks. With pre-drilled holes in the coir fiber, you don't need two rows of wooden installation stakes. You only need to place one stake inside the predrilled hole to secure it in place. Coir logs are an ecofriendly, biodegradable choice for Sediment Control and slope stabilization. Using natural erosion control coir rolls for hillside stabilization provides results that will last for years to come. Slope stability and stabilization methods that are natural give back to the environment instead of taking away from it. Coir fiber logs are 100 percent biodegradable and easy to install.

Pre-Drilled Coir Logs

Amazingly convenient, the installation of these coir logs is a snap. They use fewer stakes; simply secure them with stakes through the pre-drilled slots in the logs. The slots can also be used for planting seedlings. The slots are approximately 2 feet apart. Pre-Drilled Coir Logs are available in standard or high-density options and a variety of sizes.

Coir fiber logs with predrilled holes make installation quite easy. The instructions below provide a general guide for installing pre-drilled coir fiber logs. Keep in mind that your specific site plans might dictate slight deviations from these steps. It is also advisable to follow any plans provided by your onsite engineers when installing coir logs.

1) First, dig a trench if necessary and place a coir fiber log in your desired location according to your specific site plans and instructions.

2) Next, remove the cardboard insert from the predrilled hole inside of the coir fiber log.

3) Take your hardwood stake or plant material and place it inside the predrilled hole. The length of your hardwood stake will be determined by the diameter of your coir fiber log and the type of soil you are working to stabilize .

4) If you are planning on using seedlings or plants in the pre-drilled holes, check with your site engineer about proper coir log anchoring. You may need more stability with extra hardwood stakes.

5) Last, if you are installing multiple coir fiber logs on end, you need to secure each coir fiber log together with coir twine.

The easy installation of these coir fiber logs will definitely save you time and money in labor costs.

Coir Fiber Logs' Easy-Installation Accessories

The predrilled holes of the coir fiber logs make them easy to install with hardwood stakes or even plants. Because coir rolls offer natural erosion control, they adapt well to vegetation and will naturally biodegrade overtime. We offer several options for installation accessories. You can use wooden or hardwood installation stakes or plants as mentioned. However, you can also use biodegradable, green stakes in your coir fiber logs. We also offer erosion control installation staples and stapler installers which allow you to install them without bending over. These, however, are not biodegradable and will have to be removed manually once the hillside stabilization techniques have fully degraded.
