Installation Guide

1. For aggregate areas simply strim all vegetation to ground level remove vegetation and ensure that there are no sharp objects which could penetrate the Weedcheck. Should bulbs be present they are best removed at this stage.

2. For garden areas prepare the soil removing any visible weeds and then add plant feed to the area.

3. Lay out the Weedcheck over the area and secure at the edges. Using a spade spit down 150mm vertically and tuck the weedcheck into the vertical spit.

4. Should joins be necessary then the recommended overlap is 100mm. Pins can be used but best to use the mulch to keep in place. Use heavy stones temporarily whilst working.

5. Place your plants on top and arrange ready for planting.

6. Cut a cross, open up and remove soil. Water and place plant in the hole, firm in and replace the Weedcheck ensuring that there is no soil left on top of the membrane.

7. To ensure the cuts are covered just cut a collar with 1 slit and use to cover the cross cuts - see photo opposite.

8. Cover the bed with your preferred mulch approximately 40mm for aggregates or coconut mulch and 50/60mm for traditional bark mulch.

9. Ensure that Weedcheck is covered with a mulch within 24 hours of laying.
