Erosion Control Textile for Fencing Material


To protect the community garden from animals, we used a black mesh geo-textile used in erosion control.  Our roll was donated by Mercer-Fraser Company.  We drove metal fence posts every eight feet, unrolled the fencing and cut the fencing using box cutters and heavy duty scissors into two very long pieces about four feet high.  We then picked up the long cut pieces and zip-tied them to the fence posts.  This was a very quick and easy project and a year later the fence still functions wonderfully.  The black causes the fencing to fade away so it is really unnoticeable and not unattractive.
