Groundcover fabric GEKO FLO AGRO FABRIC 1.6 x 20 m, weight 70 g/m²

GEKO FLO AGRO FABRIC 1.6 x 20 m, weight 70 g/m² is a woven groundcover agricultural fabric designed to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture and provide light frost protection. The permeable construction allows air, water and light to reach the soil while limiting weed emergence and reducing surface erosion. Its dimensions make it suitable for covering vegetable beds, orchard rows, greenhouse floors and landscaping areas where a durable yet breathable barrier is required.

Advantages

The fabric’s 70 g/m² woven structure balances durability with breathability, allowing rain and irrigation to pass through while preventing most weed seedlings from penetrating. It reduces the need for chemical weed control and frequent hand weeding, helps maintain even soil moisture and moderates soil temperature near the surface. The material is lightweight and easy to handle, cut and secure in place with pegs or staples, and it contributes to reduced soil erosion on sloped beds.

Suitable for

• Vegetable beds and raised planters
• Orchard rows and fruit bushes
• Greenhouse groundcover and walkways
• Garden borders and landscape beds

Key specifications

• Material: woven polypropylene fabric
• Weight: approximately 70 g/m²
• Dimensions: 1.6 m width × 20 m length
• Permeability: allows water, air and diffuse light transmission
• Primary functions: weed suppression, moisture retention, light frost protection
• Physical properties: tear-resistant for normal garden use, UV-stabilized for extended outdoor exposure

How to use

Prepare the planting area by removing large debris and leveling the soil surface. Roll out the GEKO FLO AGRO FABRIC over the desired area and position it so that the edges overlap slightly where multiple strips meet. Cut openings where plants will grow or secure the fabric along borders and around planting holes. Fix the fabric to the ground with landscape staples, pegs or soil mounds at regular intervals to prevent uplift. For established beds, lift the fabric when transplanting or planting new seedlings and replace or adjust as needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the fabric on well-prepared soil and use appropriate fasteners every 30–50 cm along edges and seams. Replace sections that show excessive wear or damage. Avoid prolonged contact with volatile hydrocarbons and open flame. Periodically check under the fabric for moisture levels and pests; the material supports irrigation but does not eliminate the need for routine crop management.
