White NW8 Non-Woven Geotextile Fleece is a 100gsm needle-punched membrane designed for use in drainage, ground separation and filtration. Supplied in multiple roll and cut sizes, it’s ideal for equestrian surfaces, soakaway wrapping, driveways and land drainage systems.
Choose the right roll or sheet for your project:
2.25m x 10m (22.5m²) – Folded Cut Sheet
2.25m x 20m (45m²) – Folded Cut Sheet
1.1m x 100m (110m²) – Quarter Roll
2.25m x 100m (225m²) – Half Roll
4.5m x 100m (450m²) – Full Roll
NW8 fleece creates a durable separation layer that allows water to pass through while blocking fine particles. It’s commonly used below paddocks, riding arenas, soakaways, permeable paving systems and access roads.

Use a full or half roll for large installations. Smaller cut sheets suit patch repairs, localised projects, or DIY tasks like gravel paths or trench lining.
Yes, NW8 is commonly used as a filtration and separation layer in manèges and paddocks, especially beneath a tread layer or EcoGrid base.
Yes, NW8 has high flow rates and optimal pore size, making it ideal for wrapping drainage systems and preventing clogging from fine soil.
Yes, for most uses, it can be laid straight on compacted ground. Avoid driving on it before covering with a suitable fill layer.
Overlap sheets by 300–600mm and secure with fixing pegs. For best results in wet areas, use geotextile jointing tape.
