Straw Wattles for Temporary Erosion Control

Perimeter Control
and Slope Interruption

Straw wattles provide effective, job-ready erosion and sediment control on active construction sites where soils are exposed and runoff must be managed quickly. Designed for temporary protection, they slow water movement, capture sediment, and help maintain compliance during grading, utility work, and early construction phases.

Ero-Guard manufactures straw wattles using one hundred percent agricultural, weed-free straw to deliver consistent performance without introducing unwanted species. Lightweight construction and flexible form allow crews to adapt placement to changing site conditions without slowing production.

Built for Active Job Sites

Straw wattles are designed to minimize displacement of suspended sediments by slowing surface flow and filtering runoff at critical control points.

  • Installed along slopes, they interrupt runoff patterns, reduce water velocity, and limit sediment transport downslope.
  • Placed within channels, they function as check structures that filter flow and control sediment migration during storm events.
  • Positioned around storm inlets, they help prevent sediment and debris from entering drainage systems and downstream infrastructure.

Available in multiple diameters and lengths, Ero-Guard straw wattles can be matched to site requirements to support consistent, predictable results. Quick installation and straightforward removal help crews maintain momentum while meeting erosion and sediment control expectations.

As part of Nexterra, Ero-Guard supports erosion control programs with dependable materials, coordinated supply, and practical field knowledge. Straw wattles are designed to perform during construction, then break down naturally once their role is complete, supporting both project schedules and environmental objectives.
