Lake Bottom Blanket Aquatic Weed Control | Chemical-Free Vegetation Inhibitor for Lakes & Ponds | Benthic Barrier | Instant Weed Free Swimming (10.75

How It Works: The Lake Bottom Blanket reduces sunlight exposure to the lake floor, which helps limit the growth of underwater vegetation. Simply position the blanket over the area you’d like to manage. It works only on the plants it covers, while allowing fish and other aquatic life to move freely underneath. What's Included in the Box: (1) Our Patented Lake Bottom Blanket with weight channels (un-weighted) (2) Installation ropes, Rebar End Caps and Warning Buoy (3) Instructions and QR Code to view videos on your phone or computer. You Will Need To Buy Weighting Locally: Prior to installation purchase (11) 3/8” by 10-foot-long pieces of Rebar. (Rebar is a metal reinforcement material used in concrete construction). Lowes Home Improvement sells these, and they cost about $8 -10 each. If more Weight is needed due to high water use, ½” rebar can be used in the end ribs. (2 sets of ½” rebar end caps are provided) Weeds That Are Difficult To Kill: Eel Grass, Lily pads and Hydrilla are a few lake weeds that are very difficult to kill; covering the entire infestation for longer periods of time can work but is not guaranteed. In these cases, the LBB can act as a barrier to give you open water in those areas. Do Not Harvest Hydrilla. Please Read Before Making A Purchase: These are handmade and have a specific use. Our return policy states, “Can only be returned if not used due to cross-contamination of waterbodies.” DNR Approved: Approved for use in lakes and ponds by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The Lake Bottom Blanket is a chemical-free and eco-friendly lake weed control product. It’s a sunlight barrier that is an affordable solution for the control of the aquatic weeds that have detrimental effects on water quality and the recreational use of Lakes and Ponds. The Lake Bottom Blanket is designed for the lake-front property owner to rid their waterfront of unsightly aquatic weeds with almost 100% effectiveness. This style of lake weed control is considered a Benthic Barrier, and its design has advantages over the other sunlight blockers currently on the market. First, are the different color sides, white side up allows you to see the blanket in the water, black side up makes in almost invisible. Second, is the patented design that allows the living organisms (Benthos) to freely live under the blanket, while it stops sunlight from reaching the plant life. The idea is to do less harm to the Benthos while being more efficient at controlling subsurface weeds and do it more economically. Some lake tools like Weed cutters, Rollers and Rakes can create weed fragments and cause sediment deposition which can harm the Benthos and create larger weed infestations. In about 4-6 weeks it kills the plant life under the LBB and doesn’t allow new growth, normally for an entire season.
