Coir Logs
Biodegradable Erosion Control for Shorelines, Streambanks & Wetlands
Looking for an eco-friendly solution for stabilizing banks and controlling erosion? Our Coir Logs, also known as coconut fiber coir logs, are the ideal choice for protecting sensitive natural areas such as riverbanks, wetlands, and coastal shorelines. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut fiber, these coir logs provide durable sediment control, promote vegetative regrowth, and naturally decompose over time, leaving behind a healthier, more stable environment.
Coir logs are densely packed rolls of natural coconut fiber (coir mattress fiber), tightly wrapped with bristle coir twine for strength and durability. These logs stabilize soils, reduce sediment runoff, and provide an ideal substrate for planting native vegetation. As they biodegrade (typically over 2 to 5 years), they support permanent natural erosion control solutions.

Coir Log Installation and Best Practices
Even in demanding environments, coco coir logs offer superior stability. For best results, follow these installation guidelines:
Step 1: Placement
Position logs along the bank or shoreline. Logs can be placed singly or stacked depending on project needs.
Step 2: Securing
Use biodegradable or wooden stakes to secure the coir log in place. Stakes should be driven on either side of the log. For added stability in high-flow areas, insert stakes through the center of the log.
Step 3: Planting
Enhance stability by planting native vegetation around or through the coir logs. Plants will establish deep root systems, providing permanent erosion control even after the logs biodegrade.

Coir Logs Frequently Asked Questions
No, coconut fiber coir logs are fully biodegradable. Over 2–5 years, they break down naturally and become part of the soil ecosystem. No removal is required.
nstallation is quick and simple: place the logs in position and secure with stakes on either side (or through the center for extra stability). For best results, incorporate live plantings to create a lasting erosion control system.
