Description
Key attributes
A coir log is a long cylinder of coconut husk fibre packed inside a net. Contractors and landscapers lay coir logs along streambanks, lake shores, slopes and wetland edges to hold the soil in place while plants take root. Coir is a natural fibre, so the log breaks down over time as the vegetation grows through it, and nothing has to be removed later.
Why Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is one of the world’s largest coir exporters: its customs records show more than 400,000 tonnes of coir fibre exported in 2025. Coir logs are made from the same brown husk fibre, by the mills that also export mats, geotextiles and grow media. We source from Sri Lankan coir exporters and quote you one price. See the directory of Sri Lankan coir exporters.
What to specify
- Diameter and length of each log.
- Density: how tightly the fibre is packed. It sets how long the log lasts and what it weighs.
- Netting: coir twine for a fully biodegradable log, or polypropylene if the log must hold its shape for longer.
- Quantity and port: the number of logs and your destination. Logs are bulky, so we work out how many fit a container before we quote.
- Project specification: anything your engineer or the approving agency requires.
The same mills make coir blankets, netting and mats for erosion control. See coir geotextiles, mats and rope.
