Our coco coir bales are made from 100% coconut husk fibre, compressed at our Tamil Nadu facility into dense jumbo bales for maximum volume per shipment. Furthermore, a single jumbo bale expands to 400–600 litres of fluffy growing or erosion-control substrate — making it the most cost-efficient coir format available. Pallets of bales are in stock and shipped from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse across Canada and the USA.

At 400–600 litres per jumbo bale, coir bales deliver the lowest cost-per-litre of any coir format. Furthermore, there is no packaging overhead and no wasted volume — just pure substrate compressed for freight efficiency and expanded on-site.
Coconut coir fibre has exceptional tensile strength — stronger than most natural fibres and significantly stronger than peat. As a result, the fibre structure resists compaction over multiple seasons, maintaining air porosity and drainage year after year.
Jumbo bales are the primary coir format for civil engineering, slope stabilisation, riverbank reinforcement, and large-scale erosion control across Canada. Moreover, the dense bale structure provides immediate physical soil retention on delivery.
Coir fibre degrades 4–5× slower than peat or straw. Consequently, a jumbo bale deployed for erosion control or used as a growing medium retains its structure for multiple growing seasons — no constant replacement is needed.
Factory-processed under heat — there are no weed seeds, no soil-borne pathogens, and no insects. The inert fibre structure does not harbour pests or fungal disease. In addition, it is safe for organic-certified operations and sensitive crop environments.
Full pallet loads of jumbo or standard bales ship from Cambridge, Ontario to every Canadian province and US state. Furthermore, cross-border LTL freight is available for large volume orders — and there are no customs delays from our Ontario warehouse.

The dominant bale format in Canada for erosion control, large-scale greenhouse substrate, and distributor bulk supply. Furthermore, it offers maximum volume per freight pallet. It is preferred by civil engineers, landscapers, and commercial growers across Ontario, BC, and Alberta.
Smaller bales are used by nurseries, substrate blenders, and distributors who need to break and repackage into smaller portions. They are also used in light erosion control, raised bed installation, and horticulture applications where jumbo volume is not required.
Jumbo bales can also be used dry — broken apart manually for erosion control applications without any hydration step.
Place the bale in a large container, trough, or directly on-site. Make sure there is enough surrounding space — the bale will expand significantly in all directions.
Pour warm or ambient water gradually over and around the bale. Do not flood — instead, allow the fibre to absorb water progressively from outside to core.
Depending on bale weight, full hydration and expansion can take 30 minutes to 1 hour. Furthermore, larger 125kg jumbo bales require the most time to fully saturate.
Use hands, rakes, or mechanical equipment to break the hydrated bale into individual fibres. Fluff thoroughly to remove any compressed clumps that remain.
Use directly as a growing medium, erosion control layer, or geotextile base. Alternatively, blend with coco peat, perlite, or soil amendments to your specification.
Dry use for erosion control: Jumbo bales can be broken apart without hydration for slope stabilisation, riverbank reinforcement, and ground cover applications. Dry fibre provides immediate physical erosion resistance on delivery.

Jumbo coir bales are used directly on slopes, riverbanks, and embankments to provide immediate physical soil retention. Broken apart dry, the long fibres interlock with soil particles and slow water flow. Furthermore, they are fully biodegradable — so no removal is required as vegetation establishes.
Civil engineers and environmental contractors across Canada use these bales for slope reinforcement, drainage layer separation, and retaining structure backing. Coir fibre's high tensile strength and low decomposition rate make it one of the most durable natural geotextile materials available. As a result, it is increasingly specified over synthetic alternatives.
Jumbo bales provide the lowest cost-per-litre of any coir substrate for commercial greenhouse operations. They are hydrated and fluffed on-site, then blended with peat or perlite to the grower's specification. Moreover, they are popular in Ontario's tomato and cucumber greenhouse corridor where large volumes are needed.
Standard bales are used by potting mix manufacturers and distributors who break the bale into smaller portions for repackaging or blending. Consistent fibre quality batch to batch ensures uniform end-product performance. In addition, they are available in custom grades for specific blending requirements.
Used in large-scale landscaping and municipal revegetation projects as a mulch layer, soil amendment, and seed germination aid. The biodegradable format means no cleanup is required — the coir integrates into the soil over 2–5 years. Consequently, it is popular for long-term restoration projects.
Coir fibre bales are raw material for mattress manufacturing, upholstery padding, rope, geotextile woven mats, and erosion control blanket production. They are available in mattress, mixed, and Omat fibre grades on request. Furthermore, custom blends are available for industrial substrate manufacturers.

Avee Cocoseller's coco coir bales are manufactured at our own Tamil Nadu facility and shipped directly from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse. Our jumbo coir bales — 80kg to 125kg — are Canada's highest-volume coir format. They are designed for erosion control projects, large commercial greenhouse substrate supply, and distributor bulk resale. Furthermore, each bale expands to 400–600 litres on hydration, making them highly cost-efficient.
Civil engineers and environmental contractors across Canada specify jumbo coir bales for slope stabilisation, riverbank reinforcement, and revegetation projects. The high tensile strength, low decomposition rate, and fully biodegradable nature of coir fibre make it the preferred natural alternative to synthetic erosion control blankets. As a result, Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and municipal conservation authorities increasingly specify natural fibre materials for shoreline and waterway restoration projects. For more on coir fibre properties in geotextile applications, see Environment Canada's guidance on wetland and waterway restoration.
Full pallet loads of jumbo or standard bales are available year-round from our Cambridge warehouse. Cross-border LTL freight is also available for US orders. Contact us for a pallet quote.
