Wattles

Wattles, also known as erosion control logs or sediment control logs, are cylindrical devices made from various materials such as straw, coconut fiber, rice hulls or synthetic materials. They are used to control sediment and erosion on construction sites, slopes, and other disturbed areas.

Here are some key points about wattles:
• Material: Wattles can be made from different materials, including straw, coconut fiber, rice hulls and synthetic fibers. For example, the “Biodegradable Fiber Wattle – Burlap Wattle” is made from biodegradable materials and encased in burlap netting.
• Sizes: Wattles come in various sizes, typically ranging from 8 inches to 12 inches in diameter and 20 to 25 feet in length.
• Applications: They are used for perimeter protection, slope interruption, and ditch checks to control sediment and erosion.
• Installation: Wattles are easy to install and can be placed directly on the soil surface and secured with wooden stakes.
