Coir Fiber Erosion Control Wattles & Logs

Coir refers to the natural fiber extracted from coconut husks. It is produced by curing coconut husks in fresh water, then processing the fibrous material. Coir is valued in erosion control applications for its high tensile strength, natural biodegradability, and ability to retain moisture — making it ideal for supporting vegetation establishment on disturbed sites.

Straw wattles are typically temporary products lasting up to 12 months before biodegrading. Coir fiber logs and wattles, by contrast, offer medium-term durability of 1–3 years or longer, making them a more durable option for projects requiring extended erosion and sediment control before full vegetation establishment is achieved.

Coir fiber logs are made entirely from coconut fibers and are best suited for shoreline stabilization, wetland restoration, and waterway applications. Sediment logs are available in multiple fiber materials and are designed primarily for slopes, construction site perimeters, curb outlets, and ditch bottoms where sediment filtration from runoff is the primary concern.

Yes. Coir fiber logs are made from 100% natural, biodegradable coconut fibers and are recognized as environmentally safe products. They do not leach harmful chemicals into water, making them suitable for wetland construction and restoration, shoreline stabilization, stormwater ponds, and stream bank protection projects.

Yes. Because coir fiber logs and sediment logs are fully biodegradable, they can be left in place after construction. As they decompose over time, they enrich the surrounding soil with organic matter, further supporting the long-term establishment of vegetation on stabilized slopes and shorelines.

Coir fiber logs are ideal for shoreline stabilization, wetland construction, lakescaping, stream restoration, and stormwater ponds. Sediment logs perform well on steep slopes, construction site perimeters, drainage outlets, ditch bottoms, and over bare soils. Together, they address a broad range of erosion and sediment control challenges on civil and environmental projects.
