Aquatic Weed Control | Chemical-Free Vegetation Inhibitor for Lakes & Ponds | Benthic Barrier | Instant Weed Free Swimming (10.75 feet x 20 feet)
- 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 (5) 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).

Aquatic Weed Control
WHY USE LAKE BOTTOM BLANKET FOR YOUR LAKE WEED CONTROL?
The Lake Bottom Blanket is a chemical-free, 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 lakefront property owner to rid your waterfront of unsightly aquatic weeds with great 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, and it is by far the least costly and easiest to use.
The Lake Bottom Blanket is a good solution to the aquatic weed problem that affects 85% of all freshwater bodies around the world. This tool is extremely effective in the control of subsurface aquatic weeds. It is one of the only Non-Chemical lake weed control solutions.
The total initial cost for the Lake Bottom Blanket, including its locally purchased rebar and shipping, is about 70 cents per square foot for the 40-footer. If one moves the Lake Bottom Blanket four times in the season ( the recommended procedure) the first year cost is about 14 cents per square foot; as the years go by the cost approaches zero.
We spent considerable time and expense to invent and patent the Lake Bottom Blanket and the feedback from our customers has been very positive. We know it does the job, so the effectiveness of the Lake Bottom Blanket is a no-brainer!
