CoirLogs are biodegradable, coconut fibre bio-rolls. The dense coir fibre CoirLog rolls dissipate wave energy, protect against water scour, and retain the bank while plants develop.

Hy-Tex CoirLogs provide an ideal, stable growth substrate for marginal plants - encouraging rapid establishment of plant colonies and healthy root systems. CoirLogs are made from virgin coconut fibre encased in knotted coir or polypropylene nets.

CoirLogs can have optional pre-formed plant holes incorporated in them to simplify placing of marginal plants, and special compounds can also be added to enhance moisture retention on sites with fluctuating water levels.
