Single Net Straw Blankets are made of 100% straw fiber sewn with photodegradable thread to a light, photodegradable polypropylene top net. The Straw Blankets with a single net are designed for protection on medium inclines (3:1-4:1) and low flow channels and have a longevity of up to one year.
Double Net Straw Blankets are made up of 100% straw fiber, same as the single, sewn with photodegradable thread between lightweight photodegradable polypropylene top and bottom nets.

The requirements for these products are starting to increase and the technology is developing as well. Many Erosion Control products are able to biodegrade by on a timeline. Lasting for only the length of a job and biodegrading shortly afterwards. You may often see them on the side of the road protecting drainage, new home builds, roadwork, freshly graded hills and slopes, and most other construction sites. They range in their capabilities and uses but are generally used to protect our water and surrounding areas to the construction sites, stopping large amounts of water, debris, and other pollutants. There are many different types of erosion control products and many variations of each of those products.
