1. Dig a 150mm by 150mm trench both up-slope and down-slope of the area the matting is to be
applied. Prepare the slope soil surface (raking, seeding and fertilising).
2. Begin by placing the blanket a minimum of 300mm down-slope of the up-slope trench. Secure
the blanket at the bottom of the trench with staples placed 300mm apart. Backfill and compact
the trench. Apply seed, and fold the blanket over soil, secure with a row of staples placed 300mm
apart across the width of the blanket (See Diagram A).
3. Roll the blanket vertically down the slope. Secure using the appropriate staple pattern below,
specified by slope (See staple patterns).
4. Parallel blankets must be overlapped by a minimum of 100mm and secured with a row of staples
approximately 1m apart (See Diagram B).
5. Additional vertical blankets can be joined using a minimum 100mm overlapping or shingle
style (See diagrams C) in the direction of the water flow. Connect the blankets by placing staples
approximately 300mm apart across the width of the blankets.
6. For maximum performance a check slot should be placed at 8m-12m intervals. Place a row of
staples 100mm apart along the entire width of the slope. A second row should be placed 100mm
below in a staggered pattern. Then continue with general installation (See diagrams D).
7. The end of blanket must be secured in a 150mm by 150mm trench with a row of staples placed at
300mm intervals (Diagram E).
