Anchoring Devices
The key to proper installation is anchoring erosion control blankets to the soil. There are a wide variety of anchoring devices available. Soil and site conditions, along with the type of product being installed, will determine which device should be used. An 11-gauge sod staple is often considered the standard anchoring device for short-term ECBs. Washer Pins are available in addition to flex anchors. However, in sandy soil conditions a longer, wider staple may be necessary. The higher the expected flows in a channel or the steeper the slopes, a more heavy-duty anchor may be needed. Staples can be applied either by hand or mechanically using a staple gun.
