Coir Log Installation and Best Practices
Even when site conditions are at their toughest, coconut coir logs' durable materials and strong construction stand up to the test. You can secure coir logs to riverbanks or streambeds with the help of a biodegradable stake or wedge to hold the coir fiber log in place. The wedges or stakes should be placed on either side of the log when installing it along your site. If your site requires increased stability, then the stakes or wedges should be placed directly in the center of the coir log to help keep them in place. Coir logs are designed to have a lifespan anywhere from 2 to 5 years, depending on site conditions.
Using plants with your coconut coir logs only adds to their stability. We recommend you use local vegetation within the coir log structure. Plants can be placed around or even on top of coir logs to encourage deep root growth as the coir log biodegrades. The vegetation growth within the coir log area will create a natural erosion control barrier that will remain after the coir log has biodegraded.

Coir Logs Frequently Asked Questions
Since coconut coir logs are biodegradable they do not have to be removed. They can simply biodegrade naturally into the surrounding soil and vegetation.
Coir log installation is very simple and easy. Just place wood or biodegradable stakes alongside the coir fiber logs to keep them in place.
