Is there any formula to how wide the mattress should be compared to the height of the wall?

Problem with this method of filling (dumping stone in) if that you usually deform the face of the basket. If you don’t care how it looks it’s fine but most people want the baskets to stay square. I always suggest placing stone not dumping but to each their own I just make baskets.
@RTUGabions3 ай бұрын
Gabions are one of the best ways to fight erosion and stabilize banks. The sheer mass in a basket means it’s not moving once full and any hydronic pressure from water in the bank is allowed to pass through without pushing the wall. Concrete suffers from that pressure in most cases.

A nice decorative stone wall but not practical for long term protection. The wire will corrode and fall apart and then there will be a lot of rock strewn everywhere. Some will argue the galvanized wire will last forever but it doesn't.

Galvanized wire in a very wet environment… Yeah… That’s not going to last… You would have been better off with riprap and a planted top fill (which it what that will become, once your cages rust out).

This is really bad for stream function and just moves the issue trying to be resolved (generally natural bank erosion) downstream. Bank erosion in this type of stream system is an inherent and critical part of stram function. What happens is this starts a cycle of "repairs" that end up hardening more and more of the stream, causing more and more loss of function and requiring more and more maintenance. Simple solution that maintains the actual conservation of stream functions is to move the trail.

There's nowhere else for the trail to go, the alternative was temporary/permanent closure.

It's true the river doesn't look much most of the time, but it takes a fair volume of water when in spate and the bank needed to be built back up to 6' to reinstate the path.

Hats off to you, I love doing this stuff. Question though why not a lime cement with high ash content (water setting) poured into the crates? The metal will be gone in 10 years. Also, seems like a prime opportunity for hydro power. Too far away from consumption?
@footprintconservation8668 Жыл бұрын
To be honest, I hadn't thought of that. I don't know anything about water setting cement so it didn't cross my mind - it sounds like an interesting idea though and one that I'll consider if I'm ever called upon to do something similar in the future. Thanks for the suggestion. As far as hydro power goes, my job was specifically to reinstate a path at the top of the river bank, so that would have been outside my scope.
@stuffbywoody5497 Жыл бұрын
I hope you don't want that to stay up permanently. The wire will eventually rust and the stones will collapse. It will last a number of years first, but it will eventually collapse. Nothing can take the place of good old fashioned dry stone walls.

True, a retaining wall built of stone would have been the best option, but very difficult to achieve because of the location and the cost would have exceeded the budget!

@@footprintconservation8668 , that's fair enough. I assumed there was a reason that you chose this over a drystone wall or a mortared stone wall. I hope it lasts many years before it needs any major restoration.

It was a big old pipe and there were 4 of them in total - they were still in good condition, but they got blocked with river debris. The landowner thought he might be able to use them on his paintballing activity course so hopefully they will have a second life 🤞

@efuller6770 Жыл бұрын
I wondered the same thing but there appears to be a path at the top with hazard cones. Reducing erosion and chance for path collapse/further damage I suspect is the reason. Kinda wish a couple local ish parks would do something like it instead of just close trails
@footprintconservation8668 Жыл бұрын
Spot on - the local authority is responsible for maintenance of public paths so they had to make it safe. There was no room to take the path away from the river bank so the bank had to be built up.
