It acts as a filter, allowing water to pass freely into the drainage zone while preventing fine soil particles from migrating into and clogging the aggregate. Without it, the drainage system silts up over time and loses effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat GSM geotextile do I need for a retaining wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e120gsm non-woven geotextile is the standard specification for residential and light commercial retaining wall drainage applications. It provides the right balance of permeability (water passes through easily) and filtration (soil fines are held back). For heavy civil applications or high-clay soils, 200gsm or heavier may be specified by an engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich roll width should I choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the roll width to your wall height. For walls up to 900mm, the 1m wide roll is sufficient. For walls 1–2m high, use the 2m wide roll to cover the full height in a single run without joins. Joins in geotextile fabric are a potential weak point, minimise them where possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan geo matting be used for erosion control and other applications?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, 120gsm non-woven geotextile is widely used for erosion control on batters and embankments, subgrade stabilisation under driveways and paths, separation layers under gravel areas, and drainage blankets in landscaping. It's a versatile product beyond retaining wall applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much geo matting do I need for my retaining wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalculate: wall length (m) × wall height (m) = area in m². Add 15–20% for overlaps and wastage. Then select the roll width that matches your wall height. For a 10m wall at 1.2m high: 10 × 1.2 = 12m² + 20% = 14.4m². One 50m×1m roll (50m²) covers this comfortably with significant roll remaining for future use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes geo matting need to be UV-rated?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 120gsm non-woven geotextile has limited UV resistance and should be covered with aggregate promptly after installation, within a few days at most. It is not designed for permanent exposed applications. Once covered by aggregate or soil, UV degradation is not a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Trade Pricing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeo matting rolls are delivered Australia-wide via standard freight.

This is standard practice on residential retaining wall projects across Australia and is the method we recommend after 50 years in the trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracket bolts through the post web (the flat face of the UC or PFC section) and provides a fixing point for your fence rail.
