Coir Logs (Bio Logs)
Coconut coir logs are biodegradable erosion control products for hills, banks, shorelines and other erosion prone areas, made from 100% natural coir fibres compressed in tubular mesh netting. This is the handiest erosion control product that holds soil in place. It traps ash and soil fines better than silt fences. Easy to place, use and install, these coir fibre logs create a natural control area that helps establish growth and control erosion.
Coconut coir logs have been effectively used for erosion control in restoration projects, stabilization areas and construction job sites.

- In flowing water areas: Coir fiber rolls can be placed directly on the bank, often retaining fill material or securing new channel alignment.
- In standing water: Coconut coir logs are placed offshore to break waves and encourage sedimentation and re-vegetation. They can also be used for wetland stabilization. Other standing water applications include placing coir logs along lake shores or even small ponds to protect against erosion.
- High tensile strength which protects steep surfaces from heavy flows
- Allows for full plant and soil establishment, natural invasion & land stabilization
- 100% natural and biodegradable
- Functions as a soil amendment
- Acts as a mulch on the surface
