How to Choose the Right Landscape Fabric

Throughout history, gardeners have used various materials to hold moisture in the soil and reduce weeding chores. One old-fashioned technique was to layer newspapers around plants, water thoroughly and add a top dressing of mulch or straw. The zinc in the ink was purported to reduce weed seed germination, and at the end of the season, the biodegradable mulch and paper could be turned into the soil. Times have changed, and today there are a wide variety of landscape fabric options. To choose the right one for your needs, consider these four factors: Non-Woven Non-woven fabrics provide an effective, long-term solution to weed suppression. Made from polyester or polypropylene, the material is non-porous, so it restricts oxygen and resists water penetration.

How to Install an Above-Ground Winter Pool Cover

One of the first things you’ll need to attach the pool cover are cover clips. The cover clips act as an extra set of hands to get your cover in position initially. This is important especially if you have a larger pool because it can be quite difficult to mount your cover to your pool. When using cover clips, ensure the flat side is facing away from the pool and the curved side is against the pool. An added benefit to the cover clips is protection against wind getting under the cover as well. To attach the winter cover, then ensure the cover is about 6” below the pool frame. To do so, start at the bottom of the frame and roll the cover forward. Repeat this step until the pool is covered. After the cover is attached to the pool, it still needs to be secured with the cover clips. Once the clips are in place, then run the cable through the grommets. Finally, the cable needs to be secured, which will need the winch . To secure the cable, feed the cable through one end passing through

SPUNBOND NON-WOVEN FABRIC

Spunbond Nonwoven Fabric is a fabric like material made from long fibers, bonded together by hot-press. They are not made by weaving or knitting and do not require converting the fibers to yarn. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted. Non-woven materials typically lack strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing. They can mimic the appearance, texture and strength of a woven fabric and can be as bulky as the thickest paddings. In combination with other materials they provide a spectrum of products with diverse properties, and are used alone or as components of apparel, home furnishings, health care, engineering, industrial and consumer goods.
