\nThe following is according to my understanding.<\/p>\n
\nLately I’ve been using “hardware” fabric from a leftover roll. It’s thin, lies flat, and is fairly rough to the touch. It seems very strong. Yet, how might one classify it?<\/p>\n
\nI arrived at a video about outdoor fabrics, in which three are compared for water drainage: non-woven landscaping fabric, woven landscaping fabric, and then non-woven geotextile fabric. I was intrigued, since landscaping fabric is a common thing, but I hadn’t thought of comparing the fabric I was using to it.<\/p>\n
\nFrom the video, I came to realize that non-woven landscaping fabric is permeable to water, while woven landscaping fabric is much less permeable. Geotextile seems intended for civil engineering purposes, with non-woven being very permeable to water.<\/p>\n
\nThe fabric I’m using I haven’t exposed to water; perhaps I should test it. It seems that, if it’s minimally permeable, it’s likely woven. In particular, I already suspect it’s woven geotextile.<\/p>\n
Interesting, eh?<\/p>\n
