Coir Fiber Roll Details
Offering a high level of strength and reinforcement, our coir fiber rolls feature densely packed mattress coir fibers that are placed inside a tubular coir twine netting. Both components are all-natural and biodegradable, making coir logs safe for the surrounding environment. Simply call our knowledgeable team at 1-863-261-8388 for more information.
The most appropriate size for coconut fiber logs depends on the flow and slope of your project. Standard coir logs are available in diameters between 12 and 20 inches and 10 feet in length. Twine can be used to join multiple sections of coir fiber rolls together to form longer sections.
Erosion Control Coir Log Specifications
Standard Density Coir Logs
These are the industry standard for use in average conditions and at a price point that's budget friendly. 100% Biodegradable, the Standard Density Coir Logs are made of 100% coir encased in a 2"x2" coir netting. Coir Logs promote a natural solution to erosion control and slope stabilization, while creating an environment that supports vegetative growth for long term erosion control as the coir eventually biodegrades.
High Density Coir Logs
High density coir logs are recommended for use on rigorous terrain, areas exposed to high flow or harsh environmental conditions. They are also a reliable erosion control solution for streambanks and lakeshores, as well as for slope stabilization. Manufactured with 100% coir fibers encased in a rhombic coir netting, these high-density coir logs are known for solid performance in the most demanding situations and for the longest duration in the field.
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.

Erosion Control Coir Log Frequently Asked Questions
Coir is an all-natural fiber taken from the husks of coconuts. Brown coir, taken from fully ripe coconuts, is strong and thick. Coir products work as erosion control solutions for multiple reasons. Coir is relatively waterproof and resistant to saltwater damage. Coir also has a hairy, rough texture, so soil and seeds are more likely to cling to it.
The lifespans of coir products vary, depending on the product type and site environment. Coir logs and wattles generally last 2 to 6 years. Most coir blankets and mats last from 4 to 6 years. Shorter-lived mats are also available. A temporary erosion control mat generally lasts between 9 and 24 months.
Coir products are 100% biodegradable. Over the course of their lifespans, microorganisms in the soil consume the coir, enriching the surrounding soil. The composting process that occurs over time with coir aids fertilization and helps plants continue to protect against erosion after the coir is gone.
