Single Net Straw Blanket
Straw Erosion Control Blanket
Our single net straw erosion control blanket is a biodegradable straw erosion mat for temporary erosion control on gentle slopes up to 3:1. These straw mat rolls help keep seed and topsoil in place while vegetation establishes in low-flow channels, roadside ditches, and other disturbed soil areas.
Single net straw erosion control blankets are an economical choice for landscapers, contractors, DOT and municipal crews, and restoration teams who need short-term straw mat rolls to stabilize exposed soil until vegetation takes over.

Single Net Straw Erosion Control Blanket Details
Each single net straw erosion control blanket is made with inner straw fibers that are stabilized by an exterior netting. The interior of the straw erosion control blanket is comprised of 100 percent wheat straw, and the exterior photodegradable polypropylene netting keeps the straw in place as a straw erosion mat while vegetation establishes.
Straw mat rolls are manufactured with a 4-inch folded edge and stitched structure that resists unraveling in the field. Standard straw erosion control blanket rolls are 8 feet wide by 112.5 feet long and are sold by the roll in single or pallet quantities, giving contractors and agencies flexibility in ordering for small or large projects.
The typical lifespan of a single net straw erosion control blanket is approximately 12 months, depending on slope, water flow, and site conditions. This makes straw erosion mat products a good choice for short-term projects where fast rooting vegetation will take over long-term stabilization after the straw erosion control blanket has degraded.

Straw Erosion Control Blanket Applications
Straw erosion control blanket can be used in a variety of applications where temporary erosion control in a low slope area is needed. The single net straw erosion control blanket is safe for environmentally sensitive areas and will biodegrade after one year, depending on the site conditions. Straw mat rolls are ideal for projects and areas that can handle fast-growing vegetation.
Because of the temporary nature of the straw erosion mat, having vegetation that will grow and develop roots quickly is best. Having fast rooting vegetation will encourage natural erosion control when the straw erosion control blanket degrades. As you install the straw mat rolls, you can use erosion control accessories like metal staples, biodegradable stakes and pegs, and wooden stakes.
