Longer Protection for Challenging Sites

Extended term erosion control blankets are designed for sites where soil stabilization and vegetation establishment require protection beyond a single growing season. These systems provide durable surface coverage on slopes and in channels that experience sustained erosion pressure, allowing vegetation time to develop strong root structure and long-term stability.

Ero-Guard manufactures extended term blankets using coconut fiber and engineered netting to deliver consistent mid-term erosion control performance. Natural fibers provide strength and soil contact, while netting options are selected to balance longevity, environmental conditions, and project requirements. UV stabilized netting typically delivers functional service life of up to two years, depending on sunlight exposure and site conditions.

Extended term erosion control blankets are specified where extended protection is required to manage runoff, stabilize slopes, and support vegetation through prolonged establishment periods.

Ero-Guard offers extended term blanket configurations to match varying performance and environmental needs.

  • Blends combining straw and coconut fiber deliver effective soil protection with controlled longevity, supporting slopes and channels that require stabilization for up to twenty four months.
  • Fully coconut fiber blankets provide increased durability and extended service life of up to thirty six months in higher stress environments.
  • Netting options include UV stabilized polypropylene for extended performance and biodegradable jute for applications where natural breakdown is required.
  • Select configurations are engineered to meet agency specifications for projects with elevated performance and compliance demands.

Extended term erosion control blankets are designed for efficient installation and predictable performance across a wide range of site conditions. By maintaining soil cover and resisting erosion over multiple seasons, these systems reduce maintenance demands and support successful long-term vegetation establishment.
