Coir Logs and Bank Stabilization
Natural Fiber Products for Shoreline Erosion Control
Question: I am looking for bank stabilization products. I need something made of the bristle coir twine, and I need it to help control the erosion along my shoreline. Do you have anything that can help me with this?
Answer: Thank you for contacting us! For stabilization of banks or shoreline erosion control, we offer Coir Erosion Control Logs that are effective in providing structural support along exposed shorelines and river banks. Our coir logs have a 2" x 2" tubular design and are densely packed to control and manage areas affected by water erosion.
Note: Coir, like many products, is sourced from overseas. During these challenging times, due to trouble with supply and getting the products through the port systems, many products are less available. When they are available, they are more expensive. Coir is one of the products affected this way, across the entire industry. However, there are alternatives. As a practical and affordable alternative to coir logs or wattle, you might consider sediment filter logs. They are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and perform in all the same ways that coir log and wattle do. Please see Sediment Filter Logs (pdf). Call us for pricing or with questions.
Our friendly staff is here to help you get the exact product you need!.

Technical Specifications for Erosion Control Logs
Standard Density Coir Logs
These are the industry standard for use in average conditions and at a price point that's budget friendly. 100% Biodegradable, the Standard Density Coir Logs are made of 100% coir encased in a 2"x2" coir netting. Coir Logs promote a natural solution to erosion control and slope stabilization and bank stabilization, while creating an environment that supports vegetative growth for long term erosion control as the coir eventually biodegrades.

Coir Logs Benefits
The benefits to erosion control logs include the following:
- Coir Logs Can be Joined Together: Coir logs can be easily joined together to form your desired coir log length. This allows you to place the coir log along your entire river bank to provide a constant barrier and shoreline erosion control wall.
- Coir Resists Flowing Water: The coir erosion control log is designed to hold up against flowing water for bank stabilization. This means that it can be easily placed along stream banks or rivers without wearing down too quickly.
- Long-Lasting Coir: Coir logs are designed with a densely packed interior that provides long-lasting support for your location. This helps create a firm support system for building up banks and shores for extended control against erosion.
