SHIELD is a 3.2 oz woven polypropylene weed barrier. The flat-tape weave is strong in-plane and suppresses weeds while letting water and air reach the soil. Built for garden beds, mulch and soil applications, planting rows, farms, and nurseries.
SHIELD is a flat-tape woven polypropylene. The weave is tight enough to hold weeds down and open enough to let water, air, and nutrients reach the roots underneath.
Strong in-plane, so it resists tearing while you pull a run across a bed. It lies flat and holds its shape through planting and pinning.
The weave denies weeds the light they need while rain and irrigation pass through to the soil. Cover promptly with mulch or soil to protect it from UV.
Real ASTM-tested attributes, not vague marketing claims. These are the ones that matter on a growing bed.
Use the right fabric for the right ground condition. For gravel, pavers, and traffic choose XBAR; for drainage and filtration choose TERRA.
Weed control under mulch, with water still reaching the roots.
Line the base, cut clean around the frame, plant through X-cuts.
Long planting runs with straight spacing and far less hand weeding.
Container pads and walkways that stay clean season after season.
Blocks the light weeds need, so beds stay clean without spraying around plants and crops.
Cut to size with scissors or a knife and the edges stay put, so beds and borders look finished.
The woven structure stays permeable, so rain and irrigation reach the roots instead of running off.
180/105 lb grab strength means a full run can be pulled, pinned, and planted without tearing.
X-cuts at your spacing let seedlings go in while the surface between plants stays covered.

SHIELD is built for weed control under mulch and soil, not sustained load. Under gravel, pavers, or high-traffic surfaces use XBAR, a 5 oz woven dual-layer fabric that resists puncture and pumping. Keep SHIELD for garden beds, mulch, and planting rows.
Yes. The woven structure is permeable, so water and air reach the soil while the fabric helps suppress weeds. That permeability is why woven weed barrier is the right call for beds and rows rather than a solid sheet.
