Erosion Control Wattles for Construction
Construction Site Wattles
Question: I am in need of erosion control wattles for a construction project in my area. I am wondering about the available lengths and diameters for these wattles. I require a total length of about 1,500 to 2,000 linear feet. What are the standard lengths that a wattle comes in? What is it made out of? I would prefer natural materials.
Answer: The Erosion Control Wattle is a highly flexible product that is often used for landscaping, construction, or sediment control requirements. Coir wattles can be installed in areas with a low flow to help retain sediment or filter out materials in water. They have been used on construction sites to help direct the flow of water runoff or protect drains from sediment contamination.

Coir Wattle Features
The standard erosion control wattles that we offer are products made from an all-natural coir material. This coir fiber is created from coconut husks and cured to help increase the strength offered by your product. Features include:
- Inside Material: Double Cleaned Unsorted Coconut Fiber
- Outer Material: High Strength Coir with Knotted Junctions
- Mesh Openings: 2" x 2" Rhombic Shapes
- Standard Diameters: 6" or 9"
- Standard Lengths: 10' or 20'
In terms of the information you have requested, the coir wattle is available in the standard diameters of either six or nine inches (6" or 9"). Choosing your coir diameter can depend on the area you are trying to control, as well as specific inlets or drains you may need to protect.
To achieve the extended length you have requested, wattles can be joined together using a coir twine material. This helps to create specified lengths along construction areas, drains, or inlets.
