What is Weed Mat?
Weed mat is a sheeting material made of polypropylene. It gets its “Premium” label when it is treated with a UV stabilising agent to stop it from breaking down easily in the harsh sun. It can be laid on top of the soil or underneath to prevent weeds from reaching the surface. It effectively creates a physical barrier that weeds can’t penetrate as well as blocking their light source.
How do I cut it?
With a sharp pair of scissors. You may also want to pick up a shade cloth cutter for slicing it.
Is it waterproof?
No. Water can drain through from above.
What colours does it come in?
Black with green stripes.

Can I pick it up?
