Fleece sheet VidaXL 300 g/m², roll 1 x 50 m – geotextile covering for soil and garden use

VidaXL fleece sheet 300 g/m² in a 1 x 50 m roll is a nonwoven geotextile designed for soil protection, weed suppression and moisture regulation in garden and landscaping projects. The product is a durable, medium-weight fabric intended to act as a separation layer between soil and aggregate, to stabilize surfaces, to reduce erosion and to support planting beds and pathways. Supplied as a continuous roll, it is suitable for cutting to size on site and for long runs where consistent coverage is required.

Advantages

The 300 g/m² fleece provides a balance of strength and permeability: it resists tearing while allowing water and air to pass through, which supports healthy soil moisture levels and root growth. Its nonwoven structure minimizes weed penetration and helps prevent mixing of underlying soil with mulches, gravel or sand. The roll format makes it convenient to transport and install, and the consistent fabric thickness ensures predictable performance for landscaping and small construction tasks.

Suitable for

• Flower beds and vegetable plots to suppress weeds while allowing water infiltration
• Paths and walkways under gravel, mulch or paving to separate layers and improve stability
• Erosion control on slopes and embankments to reduce soil loss
• Under decorative stones or bark to prevent mixing with underlying soil
• Temporary or permanent separation layers in light landscaping and garden construction

When it may not be suitable

This fleece is intended for garden, landscaping and light construction uses. It may not be suitable where very high tensile strength, heavy machinery load-bearing or impermeable barriers are required, such as major civil engineering projects, heavy-duty road subbases or applications demanding complete water impermeability. For planting situations requiring bio-degradable materials, a synthetic nonwoven fleece may not meet compostable or eco-degradable requirements.

Key specifications

• Material type: nonwoven geotextile fabric
• Weight: 300 g/m²
• Dimensions: roll 1 m x 50 m
• Permeability: allows water and air passage while limiting soil intrusion
• Typical uses: weed suppression, separation layer, erosion control, moisture regulation

How to use

Measure the area to be covered and cut the fleece to the required size using a utility knife or scissors. Place the material with the fabric flat against the soil surface, ensuring overlap of adjacent strips by 10–20 cm to prevent weed ingress. Secure the fleece with landscape staples or pegs at regular intervals and around the edges. Cover the fleece with mulch, gravel, paving or topsoil as required for the intended application. Regularly inspect fastenings and overlapped seams after installation, especially on slopes.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required roll width and length for your project to minimise joins
• Assess whether 300 g/m² strength meets load and durability needs for intended use
• Check compatibility with the chosen topping material (mulch, gravel, paving)
• Decide on anchoring method and quantity of fixing staples or pegs needed

Usage recommendations

For best results, overlap adjacent strips by at least 10 cm and secure every 1–2 m with ground staples. Use heavier fixation and closer spacing on slopes. When covering with aggregate, a uniform layer at the recommended depth will protect the fleece and ensure long service life.
