Erosion Control Wattles and Logs

Wattles and erosion control logs trap sediment, control runoff and prevent erosion. Most erosion control wattles are filled with a natural material and are wrapped in a synthetic netting. Our Erosion control wattles include Curlex Sediment Logs, Straw Wattles, Silt Sock, and Coir Logs.

Diamond Sock wattles prevent sediment from escaping construction perimeters

Compost Filter Silt Sock

Effective sediment control product that slows sheet flow and captures runoff

Composted, aged and shredded mulch fill

Tightly woven heavy duty netting

Now supplying SiltSoxx Filter Sock and Diamond Sock

Benefits

Heavy wattle won’t easily blow out

Manufactured in pre-cut wattles and continuous runs up to 200-feet

Remove net and leave mulch after closeout

Applications

Check dam

Silt fence reinforcement

Slope interrupter

Perimeter control

Inlet protection

Compost Filter Silt Sock is a flexible and dynamic erosion control log. Our Silt Sock is filled 100% recycled wood chips and wrapped in a heavy duty multifilament netting with a 1/8-inch opening. The tightly woven netting captures sediment from stormwater runoff but is tight enough to hold the wood chips within its structure.

Compost Filter Silt Sock is distinguished by its customizable sizes. Choose from 10-foot pre-cut wattles or continuous pallets up to 200-feet long.

The continuous Silt Sock pallet allows you to custom cut each wattle to the size you need. Continuous pallets are also great for long continuous runs for perimeter control.

Inlet protection

The Curlex® Sediment Log®, also known as an Excelsior Log, is one of the industry’s most popular erosion control wattles.

This sediment log is filled with American Excelsior’s patented Curlex® fibers which are derived from renewable Great Lakes Aspen wood fibers. These curled wood fibers are wrapped in a degradable netting that has an open structure.

The Excelsior Log has a high flow capacity and filters runoff at 35 gallons per minute (ASTM D5414).

Coir Log

Environmentally friendly erosion control wattle

Coconut coir fiber

Choose from degradable or synthetic netting

Benefits

Derives natural strength from coconut fibers

Standard and heavy duty options

Supports a natural environmental where vegetation can thrive

Applications

Stream restorations

Coastal protection

Beach restorations

Embankments

The Coir Log is a flexible erosion control log that is produced from coconut fibers. Coconut fibers are exceptionally strong and create an excellent system for vegetation to grow through.

Coir Logs are wrapped in either a biodegradable or synthetic netting. Coir Logs are offered in Standard or High Density options.

Colonial Straw Wattle

A heavy duty straw wattle with a tighter weave netting than competing straw wattles

Weed seed free agricultural straw fibers

Photodegradable heavy duty netting

Benefits

Lightweight

Economical filling

Dynamic sizing including pre-cut wattles and continuous runs

Applications

Slope interruption

Ditch check

Perimeter control

The Colonial Straw Wattle is filled with agricultural straw and wrapped in the same heavy duty 1/8″ photodegradable netting as our Compost Filter Silt Sock.

The straw matrix traps sediment laden runoff in ditches, slopes and construction perimeters. Straw Wattles perform best as slope interrupters and ditch checks because the straw fill pools water more efficiently than it filters runoff.

Our Colonial Straw Wattle is available in the same pre-cut wattles and continuous runs as Compost Filter Silt Sock. The Straw Wattle, however, is lighter than the Silt Sock and easier to transport and install.
