Precision-engineered biodegradable natural fibres for consistent, reliable performance.

Pre-Grown Coir Logs

Our Pre-Grown Coir Logs offer a ready-to-use solution for erosion control and slope stabilisation. The logs provide immediate protection against soil erosion while promoting vegetation establishment along pond and lake edges, streams and riverbanks. Ideal for restoring eco-systems and stabilising slopes and river banks, our Pre-Grown Coir Logs are a sustainable and efficient choice for environmental rehabilitation projects. Grown for two seasons, the pre-established rolls work immediately towards erosion control and habitat restoration solutions. Our coir rolls provide natural wildlife cover, encourage breeding colonies and improve waterside habitats.

Salike Pre-Grown Coir Logs provide an established, ready-to-install solution for riverbank stabilisation, shoreline reinforcement and wetland restoration.

Unlike standard coir rolls that rely on post-installation planting, these logs are cultivated in advance – typically over two growing seasons – allowing vegetation to develop mature root systems prior to site deployment.

This pre-established growth delivers immediate ecological integration and enhanced early-stage erosion resistance, particularly in pond edges, lake margins, stream banks and low-to-moderate hydraulic environments.

Salike Pre-Grown Coir Logs combine engineered stabilisation with habitat creation – forming living structural elements that integrate directly into aquatic and riparian landscapes.

Materials

  • Densely compacted biodegradable coir fibre core
  • Encased within structural coir or selected netting
  • Pre-established native vegetation cultivated prior to supply
  • Responsibly sourced natural materials

 

Vegetation selection is aligned with riparian and wetland suitability requirements.

Pre-Grown Coir Logs

Features

Immediate Vegetative Reinforcement

  • Pre-established root systems provide enhanced soil interface stability
  • Reduced lag time between installation and vegetation performance
  • Early-stage protection against surface scour and bank displacement (site dependent)

Wetland & Habitat Integration

  • Supports accelerated wetland creation and restoration schemes
  • Enhances biodiversity through native plant establishment
  • Contributes to habitat complexity and marginal vegetation structure

Ecological Performance

  • Photosynthesising vegetation active upon installation
  • Supports sediment retention in low-to-moderate flow zones
  • Encourages progressive riparian ecosystem development

Custom Planting Options

Standard native species options include:

  • Carex acutiformis (Lesser Pond Sedge)
  • Carex flacca (Blue Sedge)
  • Iris pseudacorus (Yellow Flag Iris)
  • Juncus effusus (Soft Rush)
  •  Lythrum salicaria (Purple Loosestrife)
  •  Phalaris arundinacea (Reed Canary Grass)

 

Available with or without Glyceria maxima (Sweet Reed Grass).

Additional species available upon request, subject to ecological and regional suitability.

Efficiency Benefits

  • Reduces requirement for post-installation planting
  • Minimises establishment maintenance period
  • Accelerates visible ecological outcomes

Uses

Salike Pre-Grown Coir Logs are specified for:

  • Aesthetic enhancement
  • Aquatic wildlife habitat and shelter creation
  • Dam reinforcement
  • River and stream bank stabilisation
  • Silt management
  • Water bodies and wetland edge erosion control
  • Wetland eco-system enhancement
  • Wetland restoration

Suitability should be assessed relative to hydraulic loading and bank gradient.

Installation

Step 1- Log Integration

Position logs continuously along the waterline or bank toe. Where multiple units are used, secure tightly together using coir yarn or equivalent biodegradable binding.

Step 2- Trench Preparation

Excavate a shallow trench no greater than one-third of the log diameter to ensure stable embedment.
(Example: for a 400mm diameter log, embedment depth approximately 100–130mm.)

Step 3- Anchoring

Secure using timber stakes or steel pins at approximately 4–6 fixings per linear metre (subject to site exposure).

Step 4- Bank Integration

Backfill and compact soil behind the log to ensure continuous soil contact and root interface stability.

Anchoring density should increase in higher exposure zones.

Pre-Grown Coir Logs

Salike products are designed to provide erosion control, surface stabilisation and ecological enhancement in accordance with their intended application. They do not constitute structural support systems unless expressly stated.

Performance is dependent on site-specific conditions, including but not limited to soil characteristics, slope geometry, hydrological and hydraulic forces, installation quality, vegetation establishment, and ongoing environmental factors. As such, project outcomes may vary.

All technical data, specifications and guidance are provided in good faith, based on current knowledge and experience. Variations may occur due to the inherent properties of natural coir materials and site-specific conditions.

It remains the responsibility of the project designer, engineer and/or contractor to determine the suitability of the product for the intended application and to ensure correct specification and installation.
