Wooden bank protection
Hardwood bank protection products offer natural and durable solutions for stabilizing riverbanks and shorelines. Two popular options are woven mats and bank reinforcement panels. Using the strength and longevity of hardwoods, these products provide eco-friendly, cost-effective bank protection that blends seamlessly with the natural environment.
Woven hardwood mats
Woven mats consist of interlaced hardwood strips of usually 6mm thickness, creating a flexible, yet sturdy barrier against erosion. These mats adapt well to the contours of the bank, promoting vegetation growth. We produce them from Ekki or European Oak and they can be supplied with or without a weed membrane or soil protection fabric, which is designed to suppress weed growth while allowing water and air to pass through.
We also stock a big selection of small poles in suitable sizes for securing these mats in place.
Bank reinforcement panels
Our bank reinforcement panels offer a natural solution for stabilizing riverbanks and shorelines. These panels are slightly thicker and sturdier than the traditional woven mats, providing enhanced durability and strength. Ideal for projects requiring extra reinforcement, these panels blend seamlessly with the environment and offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective option for bank protection. Additionally, we supply the necessary support poles to ensure secure installation.
