Ground cover fabric AWTools AW67143 — black agrofabric 90 g/m², 1.6 x 100 m

AWTools AW67143 is a black ground cover agrofabric with a mass of 90 g/m² and dimensions of 1.6 x 100 m. It is designed to suppress weed growth while permitting air and water to pass through the material. The fabric provides a stable, low-maintenance surface for beds, pathways and under mulches or decorative aggregates in gardens, allotments and commercial planting areas.

Advantages

The agrofabric offers effective light blockage that reduces weed germination while maintaining permeability for irrigation and natural rainfall. Its 90 g/m² weight balances durability with flexibility, allowing easy handling and cutting on site. The black color increases light absorption for improved weed control and helps conceal soil and substrate beneath. The roll format of 1.6 x 100 m enables coverage of long runs with minimal joins.

Suitable for

• Vegetable and flower beds where weed control is required
• Pathways and walking areas in gardens and allotments
• Under mulch, gravel, bark or decorative stones to reduce maintenance
• Commercial planting strips and landscaping projects

How to use

Prepare the area by removing existing weeds, stones and debris. Roll out the fabric with the textured or woven side up and cut to fit beds or pathways, allowing overlap where joins are necessary. Secure the fabric with landscape staples or pins at regular intervals and cut planting holes as required for individual plants. Cover the fabric with a layer of mulch, gravel or decorative stone where specified to improve appearance and prolong fabric life. For pathway applications, apply a stabilising layer such as crushed stone above the fabric as needed.

Usage recommendations

Place the fabric on a clean, level surface and fix securely to prevent wind uplift. For long-term installations, protect exposed edges from UV and mechanical abrasion by covering with mulch or edging. Inspect periodically for torn areas and repair with overlap or patching to maintain weed suppression. Avoid prolonged direct exposure to strong UV without covering to extend functional life.
