Weed control netting: What it is used for and how to use it

If you have considered putting artificial grass in your garden or terrace, you have probably already searched many posts or videos to find out if it is easy to install and how to do it. When viewing this information, it is very likely that you have seen certain accessories necessary for the installation of the same, among them the anti-weed mesh.

What is weed control netting and what is it used for?

As its name suggests, the anti-weed mesh is a mesh that is intended to prevent weeds from growing in places where we do not want.
Well it is true that despite its opacity to not allow the passage of light, and therefore not help weeds grow, it is porous enough so that weeds can not pass through it and that does allow water to drain and not sign puddles.
You can find two types of fabric: plastic and geotextile. And which is better to install artificial turf? In the following section you have the keys to this question.

Which is better, geotextile or plastic netting?

Let’s get down to business. For artificial turf the best option is the geotextile, as it is more resistant and durable, and also weighs less, is easier to cut and lay, and is less slippery.
However, the plastic mesh is more difficult to cover the edges because they fray. Another note we make is that it is not suitable for narrow areas.
This is a recommendation we make, the final decision is up to you.

Do you need any special care?

The answer is no. The geotextile fabric does not need any special care. In order to preserve it better, it is recommended that it is not left outdoors so that it does not get sunburned, but in this case there is no problem, since the artificial grass is placed on top, so it is not uncovered.

How is it positioned?

To correctly place the geotextile mesh you have to follow the following steps:

1. Clean the floor. You can use picks and shovels to do this cleaning.
2. Smooth the surface. Fill the holes so that the floor is firm and smooth to be able to place the mesh without any problem.
3. Spread the geotextile roll along the surface.
4. Fasten it with fastening clips
5. Trim it so that 10 cm are left over.
6. Make a bend and check that it is securely fastened to the floor.
7. And that’s it! Everything ready to start filling
