Before buying weed barrier fabric: What density or grammage is suitable for my garden?

A frequent doubt among users who want to buy anti-germination fabric in our online store is about what grammage they should choose for their garden.

The answer is simple: it depends on the number of roots that grow in your garden. If a large amount of weeds does not appear in your garden, we recommend using a 100-gram roll of weed barrier fabric. If, on the contrary, weeds grow frequently in your garden, it will be better to choose one of our 130-gram weed barrier fabric sizes.

The placement of the weed barrier fabric could not be simpler: you measure the meters you will need for your garden, cut the necessary amount from the roll you bought, and cover the ground with the geotextile fabric without leaving wrinkles. Once placed and smoothed on the ground, make cuts where your garden plants will grow. After these steps, all you have to do is secure it with some weed barrier staples, and that's it. Your anti-germination fabric will be installed in the garden.
