Hanes Geo Components 87458 Straw Wattle 9x25 Erosion Control

Product Description

The HANES GEO COMPONENTS 87458 is a straw wattle designed for erosion control, sediment containment, and stormwater runoff management on active job sites and disturbed terrain. Measuring 9 inches in diameter and 25 feet in length, this cylindrical straw barrier slows water flow across slopes and inclines, capturing fine sediment before it migrates off site. It weighs approximately 50 pounds per unit and is sold in cases of 14. Installation requires no specialized equipment, making it practical for rapid deployment by land graders, site contractors, and erosion control crews working under tight schedules or regulatory deadlines.

This straw wattle is suited for residential and commercial construction sites, roadway grading projects, and any disturbed land where stormwater runoff poses a sediment transport risk. Common applications include slope interruption on cut-and-fill embankments, perimeter sediment control along property lines, and inlet protection around storm drain openings to block sediment from entering municipal stormwater systems. It performs well on low to moderate slopes where a flexible, conforming barrier is preferred over rigid check dams or silt fence systems.

Key Features

• 9-inch diameter by 25-foot length conforms to uneven terrain for consistent ground contact
• Straw fill material biodegrades over time, reducing removal labor on revegetated slopes
• Effective for slope interruption, perimeter sediment control, and storm drain inlet protection
• Sold in cases of 14 units for efficient site staging and bulk deployment
• Lightweight enough for single-person handling and quick repositioning in the field

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straw wattle for use in erosion and sediment control applications on construction sites, graded slopes, and around storm drain inlets where stormwater management best practices are required.

Installation Notes

Straw wattles are typically installed by erosion control or site grading crews in accordance with local stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) requirements and applicable storm water regulations. Stake the wattle flush to the ground surface to prevent bypass flow underneath. On slopes, orient wattles on contour perpendicular to the direction of water flow. Inspect and reposition after significant rainfall events to confirm ground contact is maintained.
