Jute, made to the job.

Jute is a natural fiber used on farms and building sites for crop covers, root-ball wrapping, twine and erosion control. GV sources jute made to the buyer's requirement, from burlap and sacking to netting and geotextile, through qualified manufacturing partners. There is no stock list: the fabric, size and make-up are set to the job.

Where jute works

Natural fiber for the field and the site.

These are the jobs jute is most often asked to do. Each order is made for one of them, or for a use of your own.

01 Agriculture

On the farm, in the orchard and the nursery.

Jute lets air and water through and holds its shape under load. In the field it breaks down in the soil once its job is done.

  • Crop and nursery coversBurlap shades seedbeds and young plants and screens them from wind.
  • Root-ball wrappingBurlap holds soil around tree and shrub roots in transit and breaks down in the planting hole.
  • Twine and plant tiesJute twine ties vines, hops and climbing crops to wires and stakes through the season.
  • Produce and seed sacksJute sacking carries grain, seed and potatoes for transport and storage.
  • Mulch and weed matsJute mats help hold moisture around new planting and suppress weeds until they break down.

02 Construction

On site, on slopes and in the yard.

On site, jute handles the temporary jobs: holding soil and seed in place, keeping water against new concrete, and protecting materials until they are used.

  • Concrete curingWet burlap laid over fresh concrete keeps water at the surface while it cures.
  • Erosion controlOpen-weave netting and geotextile hold soil and seed on new slopes and banks until vegetation takes over.
  • SandbagsJute sandbags for flood barriers, trench protection and other temporary works.
  • Protective wrappingBurlap wraps steel, pipe and finished components in storage and transit.
