Using a robust safety green netting filled with a mixture of pine straw and compost delivers a light weight durable and high performance wattle designed to be visible, easy to handle, and tough. Road wattle can be used to slow water and stop sediment. Placed at an angle the Road Wattle will deflect sediment into vegetated area. The light weight means it can be moved and replaced with ease.
The tough netting lets the Road Wattle to be moved, replaced, or even run over while maintaining its filtering ability. Prevents mud washing into public roads. Road Wattle also makes an excellent ditch check. A one man installation team can put down road wattles quickly with nothing more complex than a hammer for stakes.
