Under gravel weed barrier - Where to buy/What to use?

As per thread title. What weed barrier is recommended for under gravel applications and where can I purchase it. I do not want to buy cheap stuff and have to replace it.

mypex is great but fold over the cut edges to prevent further fraying is cut to size and overlap edges both about 3 inches or so.

Mypex weed membrane

50-55 euro for a 50 meter roll of it in a good decent garden centre or nursery.

You can wider rolls of it too,,up to 3 meters wide.

Overlap the edges by2-3 inches and also peg it down every meter or so with plastic weed membrane pegs.
