It is different. I think I got mine from Merafi (???) ...not directly...through a supplier. You will have to find a company that specializes in road building stuff. You want the heavy duty non-woven fabric. Not cheap. I paid $900 for my last roll of it, and it is probably more expensive now. That did cover quite a space. The only place I have had it fail is where the horses pay in front of their feeders. The edges can be a problem if the horses walk across the edge. I dig a trench about a foot deep and then fold a 2 foot piece of the fabric down into the trench, and put soil on it. It creates an anchor. There are landscape pins, but I have been afraid to use them in the vicinity of horses. Karen....would you use landscape pins in a horse paddock?
