Utility

BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing are high quality erosion control fabrics. Sold in rolls these blankets are light enough to be carried by one person. Yet their length (25m/50m - 82/164 feet) and width (1m/2m - 3,28/6,5 feet) gives wide cover. This makes it possible to keep costs for labor and materials at a minimum. BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing are used on upland slopes and stream-banks where structurally strong materials are needed. They are often used in combination with Armaflor™ Fibre-Rolls. In the short term they are good substitutes for plant cover; in the long term, they need to be replaced by plants. As plants mature their roots replace the slowly degrading blanket and provide erosion control of their own. BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing can be used with plants or seeds. Care must be taken to make sure that the selected plant species be appropriate for the project site. Streams, lakes and salt marshes require different plants. BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing are fully biodegradable. This makes them uniquely suited for applications near the waters edge, where the combination of structural integrity and biodegradability is a highly desirable asset.

Quality

BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing have been inspected prior to delivery.

The Fibre

BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing are made of tough natural coir Fibres (coir = processed coconut husk Fibres). These Fibres are spun into yarns. The yarns are woven into blankets of different mesh size. Contrary to other natural Fibres, coir bristles and coils, so that each yarn is surrounded by a shroud of little bristly Fibres. These bristly Fibres are a mark of quality. They help anchor the fabric on the ground as well as protect the surface from erosion.

Planting and seeding

BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing can be planted or seeded. Quart size plants or smaller can be planted through the mesh simply by sliding the strands of the mesh apart. Use small Aramaflor™ Plant-Plugs to plant into the mesh. Simply open up the mesh with a planting dibble and insert plant. Both types of BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing can be seeded with standard or custom seed mixes. For best results apply seed before laying fabric.

Installation

As indicated in the margins various BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing applications may require different installation procedures. All BesTex™ Fibre-Blanket installations must provide good soil contact throughout. We recommend the use of 3 wooden pegs (30cm to 40 cm - 12 to 18 inches long and notched at their tops) per square yard for installation. Install multiple lanes of BesTex™ Fibre-Webbing with generous overlaps in the direction of expected water flow. Secure seams with extra stakes. Key top and bottom of installation into existing soils carefully.
