BonTerra Green Gabion Blanket is manufactured from a matrix of 100 per cent untreated coir fibre (approximately 600 grams per square metre) evenly distributed between a porous nonwoven needle-punched continuous filament synthetic geotextile (TS30) on one side and a fine polypropylene encapsulating mesh on the other side. The stitching thread is synthetic. This product is manufactured to order and therefore a range of roll sizes and geotextile may be specified, depending on the application.
