Instructions for use




Installation instructions
- Section off the area that needs to be covered with TenCate Bidim® Weed Stop.
- Eradicate all the visible weeds on the first few centimeters.
- Level the ground.
- Dig a trench, position TenCate Bidim® Weed Stop
and anchor it by filling the trench.A
- Make sure each strip of TenCate Bidim® Weed Stop
overlaps by 20 centimeters.B
- Fix the edges of TenCate Bidim® Weed Stop using
metal stakes on every meter.C
Placing plants
- Decide the positioning of the plants and cut a cross.D For smaller plants or bare rooted plants it may be sufficient to cut a line instead of a cross.
- Fold down the edges of the cross and dig a hole big enough for the plant (use a bucket or wheelbarrow to store the soil).
- Remove the pot, place the plant, pack the soil and water copiously.
- Fold back the edges and fix them with metal stakes (if necessary).
- Cover TenCate Bidim® Weed Stop with wood chips or stones.




Instruction for use
- Plan the installation of the root barrier to minimize the number of joints required.
- Dig a trench to install the root barrier next to existing plants or excavate an area in case new plants are to be installed.
- Install TenCate Bidim® Bamboo Stop Pro vertically
with the black side facing the roots.A
- Make sure to install the root barrier at a depth of at
least 70 cm.B
- At least 2 cm of TenCate Bidim® Bamboo Stop Pro
must be visible above the surface.C
- The free space between the plants and TenCate Bidim®
Bamboo Stop Pro should be about 2 meters.D
Details make perfection
- Ideally, when installing the root barrier, let it protrude 10 - 15 cm and cut it off at the end of the installation. This way you will not end up with an unprotected portion when it settles during filling.
- In all cases, cut the barrier 2 cm above ground level, because rhizomes can crawl on the soil surface when they are crossing an obstacle.




Installation instructions
- Unroll the product along the length of the area to be covered to avoid excessive cutting.
- Make sure you have side overlaps of around 20 cm if the area to be covered is wider than the product.
- Draw a floor plan before laying. Choose the most suitable roll width with a few cm to spare.
- Unroll the products at a gradient from the top downwards.
- Avoid laying the product when there is a strong wind. Weigh it down if necessary.
- Drainage: the best results are obtained by placing the geotextile around the gravel to increase the filtration surface.
- Do not leave the product lying in the mud, since this reduces the filtering capacity.
- Do not leave the product lying in the sun for a longer period of time.
This product is designed to let water through. It is not a seal.
