Straw Wattles

Straw wattles filter storm water runoff and create sedimentation ponds. The stable low profile resists blowing out or falling down. Straw wattles are made from weed free straw and photo-degradable plastic netting.

Straw wattles out perform bales, silt fence, and rock checks because there are less gaps to fail, they don't fall down, and will degrade over time.

Straw wattles are available in 6, 9, 12, 18, & 20 inch diameters and in lengths up to 30 ft.

Straw wattles install quicker, require less maintenance, and may not require removal.

Straw Wattle Installation Tips
(Please refer to design specs if available)

Perimeter Control - Curbside Control 1. Subcut a trench 1/4 the diameter of the wattle to prevent undermining. 2. Place stakes 3 feet apart. 3. Wrap ends upslope to prevent water from escaping at the ends.

Velocity Checks 1. Determine slope and space wattles per engineers specification. 2. Subcut a trench 1/4 the diameter of the wattle to prevent undermining. 3. Wrap ends upslope to prevent water escaping at the ends. 4. Install stakes 3 feet apart either through or on the down slope side of the wattle. Angle the stake up the slope at a V to contain the wattle.
