How to Install Weighted Wattle
Weighted Wattles are designed for direct placement on hard surfaces such as parking lots and roadways during construction to contain runoff, allowing the clean-ish water to pass while holding back sediment.
1. Take to desired location, remove the bands and unfold. DO NOT DRAG.
2. Push the weighted inserts fully into the outer sock.
3. Soft Geotextile should be centered on the bottom – reposition inserts to get weighted
side down if necessary.
4. Connect by pushing the closed end of one Wattle fully into the open end of the next. Handling straps may be tied together for a more secure connection.
NOT ON YOUR PLANS – Write in Gator Guard wattles on the SWPPP as an equal or better BMP, sign and date. (if in-doubt, check with your engineer, contract administrator and/or agency official first)

How to Install Weighted Gutter Wattle
Weighted Gutter Wattles are placed diagonally across the gutter upstream from storm drains to form a small settling pond, allowing the clean-ish water to pass and sediment to drop out.
1. Place Gutter Wattle Diagonally across gutter and press into place with your feet.
2. Soft Geotextile should be centered on the bottom – reposition insert to get weighted side down if necessary.

While working on the construction site, do you know how many cubic meters of soil runoff due to the lack of proper erosion control? The number is enormous, that is why using appropriate management of erosion method can help you to prevent runoff and minimize erosion at the job site. Not only this, but it will also make sure that no harmful sediment enters into the water from the construction site, thus maintaining cleaner streams. We at Gator Guard provide weighted wattle installation for various construction sites to minimize the runoff and prevent sediment from entering into the drains.
These are easy to install and can be used repeatedly for various sites to prevent erosion at the place. These weighted wattles are pretty useful almost everywhere; whether you are using them around highways or to cover the area around a drain, these wattles do not allow sediments and other things to enter into the drains by blocking them. Besides minimizing the number of sediments entering the water, it also helps to decrease the flow of water, thus helping in minimizing the erosion and control runoff. For any further queries about the installation process, you can easily contact us, and we will be glad to help you out.
