Install day, in order. Most slope failures are decided in the first three steps, not by the material.
1. Shape the face. Cut back to stable soil. No overhangs, no loose spoil left sitting on the surface. The mat cannot hold what the slope is already shedding.
2. Key in the top. A trench at the crest, mat laid into it, backfilled and compacted. A mat that starts at the crest edge and just hangs there will pull down the first time it loads up.
3. Roll it down the slope, not across it. Keep the mat in contact with the soil the whole way. No bridging over hollows, no air gap behind it at the toe.
4. Overlap and anchor. Stagger the overlaps. Drive the anchors through the reinforcement, not just through the filaments — the wire is what transfers the load into the ground.
5. Load it. Topsoil, seed and fertiliser worked into the open structure. The loops are what keep the seed there until it germinates.
Do those five and the mat does two jobs at once: the 3D polypropylene structure holds seed and topsoil against rain impact and sheet flow, and the steel wire mesh formed into the same sheet carries the tensile load so the face does not slide.
Skip step 2 or 3 and no mat on the market saves that slope.
Cut slopes, embankments, channel banks, landfill caps, mine rehabilitation. Factory direct — custom roll width, wire diameter, mat thickness, optional geotextile backing. Installation guide and TDS on request.
