Installation tips

• Trim back vegetation so the mat sits as close to the ground as possible

• Secure the first peg, then gently pull on the mat before fixing the second, third and fourth pegs

• Make sure there is a good overlap on the slit to provide full coverage

• When driving in the bamboo pegs, leave about 25mm (1inch) above ground rather than pushing them in flush 

• For best results, add a fifth peg to lock the overlap in place

We recommend using with Bamboo pegs for effective installation. Overlap the mat to restrict weed growth.
