01 Woven ground cover · 3.2 oz

DeWitt Sunbelt Woven Ground Cover Fabric

For more than 30 years the DeWitt Company has been at the forefront of developing scientifically engineered ground protection products, and was the first manufacturer to offer a high-performance ground cover fabric for the landscape and greenhouse market.

Sunbelt is the general purpose choice: a heavy-duty woven black polypropylene at 3.2 oz that controls weeds and conserves water in both greenhouse and outdoor applications. The specially treated UV-resistant fabric lets water, air and nutrients pass through while blocking 99.7% of direct and indirect sunlight — which is what stops weed growth getting out of control.

99.7percent of sunlight blocked

Direct and indirect. Weeds need light, and this is what removes it — while water, air and nutrients still pass through.

02 The detail installers notice

Striped Every 12 Inches

The fabric is conveniently striped at every 12″, so spacing plants and setting out rows happens off the fabric itself rather than off a tape measure. On a nursery bed or a long planting run that is the difference between an afternoon and a morning.

03 What you get

Why Sunbelt Gets Specified

  • Blocks 99.7% of direct and indirect sunlight, stopping out-of-control weed growth
  • Heavy-duty woven black polypropylene at 3.2 oz
  • Specially treated for UV resistance, built for prolonged exposure
  • Water, air and nutrients pass efficiently through the barrier
  • Extra-tough tear and puncture resistant construction
  • Striped every 12″ for plant spacing and layout
  • Suits greenhouse and outdoor applications equally
  • Conserves water by reducing surface evaporation
Woven, not non-woven — and that matters. A woven fabric like Sunbelt is built for surface use where it will be walked on, planted through and exposed: it resists tearing and puncture and holds its shape. Non-woven geotextiles are filtration and separation products for burial under aggregate. They are not interchangeable.

04 Sizing

Available Roll Sizes

Five rolls, all the same 3.2 oz fabric. Work out the area you need to cover in square feet, then pick the roll that gets you there with the fewest seams.

6′ × 300′1,800 sq ft 6′ × 500′3,000 sq ft 10′ × 300′3,000 sq ft 12′ × 300′3,600 sq ft 15.5′ × 300′4,650 sq ft
Part numberRoll sizeSq ft per rollBest for
SBLT63006′ × 300′1,800Narrow beds and rows, easiest to handle single-handed
SBLT65006′ × 500′3,000Long narrow runs — same width, fewer roll changes
SBLT1030010′ × 300′3,000Wider beds where a 6′ width would need two passes
SBLT1230012′ × 300′3,600Greenhouse floors and wide nursery blocks
SBLT15.530015.5′ × 300′4,650Largest coverage, fewest seams over big areas
Two rolls give 3,000 sq ft — pick on width, not area. The 6′ × 500′ and 10′ × 300′ cover the same ground. Choose the 500-foot roll for long narrow runs and the 10-foot for wider beds; matching roll width to bed width is what keeps seams and offcuts down.

05 Where it goes

Applications

A general purpose weed controller for anywhere ground needs covering and weeds need stopping.

Greenhouse floors Nursery beds & container blocks Landscape beds Vegetable gardens & row crops Orchard & vineyard rows Under mulch & decorative stone Pathways Weed control around structures

06 Woven or non-woven?

Getting The Right Type

Sunbelt is a woven fabric, built for surface use — walked on, planted through and exposed to sun. That is a different job from a non-woven geotextile, which is a filtration and separation product designed to be buried under aggregate.

If you are unsure which the job calls for, tell us whether the fabric will be planted through or buried and we will point you at the right one.

07 Installation

Laying Sunbelt

Surface laid and pinned. Clear the area of existing weeds and debris first, roll the fabric out along the bed, and secure it with landscape staples or fabric pins — along the edges, at any seam, and wherever the fabric lifts.

Overlap adjacent runs rather than butting them, cut planting holes only where you need them, and keep cuts as small as the plant allows. Every unnecessary opening is a place a weed can find light.

Use the stripes. The 12″ stripes are a layout tool, not decoration. Set your plant spacing off them and rows come out straight without measuring, which is the fastest way to lay out a nursery block or a vegetable bed.

11 Common questions

Ground Cover Fabric FAQs

How much fabric do I need?
Work out the area in square feet and match it to a roll: 1,800 for the 6′ x 300′, 3,000 for either the 6′ x 500′ or 10′ x 300′, 3,600 for the 12′ x 300′ and 4,650 for the 15.5′ x 300′. Allow extra for overlapping adjacent runs.
Which roll should I choose if two cover the same area?
Pick on width. The 6′ x 500′ and 10′ x 300′ both give 3,000 sq ft — use the long narrow roll for rows and paths, and the wider roll for beds a 6′ width would not cover in one pass. Matching roll width to bed width keeps seams and offcuts down.
Does water get through it?
Yes. Water, air and nutrients pass efficiently through the woven barrier, which is why it works as a planting fabric rather than just a cover. What does not get through is light — 99.7% of direct and indirect sunlight is blocked.
What are the stripes for?
Plant spacing. The fabric is striped every 12″ so you can set out rows and space plants off the fabric instead of measuring. On nursery blocks and long planting runs it saves a great deal of time.
Is this the same as non-woven geotextile?
No, and they are not interchangeable. Woven fabric like Sunbelt is for surface use — walked on, planted through, exposed to sun — and resists tearing and puncture. Non-woven geotextile is a filtration and separation product designed to be buried under aggregate.
Can I use it in a greenhouse?
Yes. It was developed for the landscape and greenhouse market, and greenhouse floors and container blocks are among its most common uses.
How do I secure it?
Landscape staples or fabric pins along the edges, at every seam, and anywhere the fabric lifts. Overlap adjacent runs rather than butting them together.
Will it break down in sunlight?
It is specially treated for UV resistance, which is what makes it suitable for exposed surface use rather than only for burial. That treatment is a large part of what separates a ground cover fabric from generic sheeting.
What does shipping cost?
Nothing. Shipping is free on every order, at any quantity.
