Is Burlap A Good Outdoor Fabric? How Long Will It Last Outside?

Burlap fabric is considered a suitable outdoor fabric for certain applications due to its biodegradable and breathable nature. Often used in gardening and landscaping, burlap can provide protection for plants and assist in erosion control. 

However, its durability outside depends on the specific conditions and exposure to the elements. In a harsh environment with constant exposure to moisture and sunlight, burlap fabric may degrade within a season or two. If used in a sheltered area, it can last longer.

What Kind Of Fabric Is Burlap? What Is Your Burlap Fabric Made From?

Our burlap is made from the jute plant fibers. The jute fibers are spun into strong threads, which are then woven to create the unique, dense weave that distinguishes our burlap fabric.

Our burlap fabric's natural, earthy appearance is highly prized in rustic or vintage-themed decorations, and its durability makes it suitable for heavy-duty uses landscaping or storing agricultural products.

Is Your Burlap Fabric Weather-Resistant?

Our burlap fabric possesses some degree of weather resistance, but it is not entirely resistant to the elements. The tightly woven jute fibers provide a natural resistance to sunlight, and the fabric can withstand short periods of exposure to rain and moisture.

However, prolonged exposure to wet conditions may cause the burlap fabric fibers to break down, leading to rot and decay

Step-By-Step Instructions For Installing A Silt Fence

Step 1: Lay Out a Path and mark the path for your Silt Fence, knowing that it is intended to prevent Silt from Washing Downhill off your worksite. You then install your Silt Fence in line with, not perpendicular to the contour of your site. Install the fence run below the areas you're disturbing. Also avoid creating U-Shaped fenced-in low spots where rainwater and sediment could collect there. 

Step 2: Dig a Trench for the entire run of your Silt Fence that is at least 4 inches deep. A V-Shaped trench is the easiest if you're digging by hand. But a 4"x4" square trench works as well. 

Step 3: Set the Stakes as you move along burying the bottom of the fence fabric, pound the fence stakes into the ground every eight feet. We used a 10-lb. maul. Silt fence should stand at least 14 inches above the ground; check the regulations in your area. Where two sections of silt fence meet, overlap the fence ends to cover a span of two posts. 

Step 4: Backfill the Trough you dug and make sure the uphill side of the fence fabric is buried and underground. Use a Compactor and Tamp the Soil firmly over the fabric. You don't have to place the dirt behind the fabric and the stakes. Just make sure that all of the stakes are solidly in the ground to keep the fence from collapsing and causing damage to the area that you are working in.
