Know before you buy
No, this fabric is not water-permeable. It is designed specifically as a heavy-duty weed barrier that blocks light and moisture to prevent growth, so it is best used in areas where you do not need to irrigate the soil beneath.
The DeWitt Sunbelt is UV-stabilized and built for long-term use, with an expected lifespan of 8 to 12 years. Its durable 3.2 oz. polypropylene construction is designed to resist degradation even when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions.
The fabric features stripes spaced every 12 inches to serve as a guide for plant alignment. This makes it much easier to keep your rows straight and maintain consistent spacing when installing plants or containers.
While it is excellent for weed suppression, keep in mind that it is non-permeable and non-biodegradable. It is ideal for permanent landscape beds or pathways, but you will need to account for the lack of water drainage if you are planting directly through it.
Yes, the 3.2 oz. woven polypropylene is puncture-resistant and blocks 99% of light. This combination makes it highly effective at stopping even aggressive weeds from penetrating the surface.
