Straw Wattle
Straw Wattle
Quick to Deploy, Tough on Erosion
Straw wattles are an elongated tube of compacted straw and/or other fibers wrapped in UV-stabilized degradable tubular polypropylene plastic netting. Designed for short-term erosion control solutions.
Benefits of Straw Wattle
- Cost-effective Solution: Offers a more affordable alternative to traditional sediment trapping devices.
- Enhances Erosion Control Systems: Works seamlessly with surface roughening, straw mulching, bonded fiber matrix, hydroseeding, and erosion control blankets to reduce sediment migration.
- Supports Vegetative Growth: Encourages natural revegetation and slope stabilization
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep during its service life
Applications
- Along the contours or at the base of a slope to help reduce soil erosion and retain sediment.
- Around catch basin inlets.
Features
-
Used for short-term erosion and sediment control applications.
-
Designed to allow runoff/water to penetrate through the fiber while reducing sediment migration.
- Lightweight, flexible construction enables fast installation without specialized equipment—ideal for time-sensitive projects.
- Ensures structural integrity during short-term exposure to sunlight and environmental stressors.
