Know before you buy
Yes, this fabric is safe for garden beds. It is designed to allow water, air, and essential nutrients to pass through to the soil while preventing weeds from growing.
While this fabric is UV-stabilized and durable enough to be left exposed in greenhouses or commercial settings, covering it with mulch or decorative stone will significantly extend its lifespan and improve the aesthetic of your landscape.
The fabric features colored stripes spaced exactly 12 inches apart. These serve as a grid to help you maintain consistent spacing and straight rows when planting or installing pots.
The 3.2 oz. polypropylene construction is heavy-duty and highly resistant to punctures and tears. While it is excellent at suppressing most common weeds, extremely aggressive perennial weeds may still require a secondary barrier or manual removal before installation.
Yes, the woven material is easy to cut with a standard pair of heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife. We recommend searing the edges with a flame or heat tool after cutting to prevent the fabric from fraying.
