I’ve got two ~50 m2 sections with pebbles and wood chips, and when I laid it had the brilliant idea to put it on bare ground, no weedmat. That… was a mistake, so I’m going to take it out & put weedmat under it. So I need about 100 m2 weedmat for pebbles & wood chips, and there are also some plants & small fruit trees in the area, so water must go through.

Top priority is quality, I don’t want to have to take it out again in a couple of years time.

I’ve been browsing Mitre10 & Bunnings as well as other sites. I’ve already found out I need woven as that lasts longer.

Mitre10 has 20m x 0.9m woven for $24, and it has decent reviews.

Bunnings has a weedmat from a brand name Pillar, for a similar price, and also has decent reviews.

Placemakers also has weedmats from Agpac which seems good quality, no reviews though

Finally, there’s a brand called Cosio which seems top tier and has a weedmat for $255 for ~90m2

Is it worth paying $255 for a weedmat or is Number8 / Pillar sufficient?
