We heard about the chance of 2+” of rain coming in and we had a bank next to our driveway that floods over the road and creates problems.This wattle did the trick, it stopped/diverted the water as expected, very happy with the results!

Three waddles were ordered and delivered to my local HD within three days (that's the best part). Staff members loaded the three into my large SUV and off I went. Once home and attempting to unload the waddles I found they were significantly damaged in that the exterior webbing had been torn at numerous places and straw was all over my car. The store manager replaced the torn waddles however it cost me a days time and a MASSIVE cleanup of my car. Bottom line, the webbing is to flimsy and not hardy enough for construction site work.

Hi Doug, It sounds to me like the wattles were subjected to some rough handling before you received them. I am sorry about that. Were you satisfied with the replacements that the store manager gave you? ValenciaPipe

The black netting that holds these wattles together is very fragile, and breaks extremely easily. To set them in place without them breaking open and spilling out the straw, requires very ginger handling.

    Great price
    This product worked very well. It would have been nice to have it available in stores near me. Had to drive far too pick it up.

        Good for silt control in the rain. Not totally biodegradable.
        The plastic netting breaks down after extensive exposure to the sun, but it just breaks down into smaller plastic pieces which could be eaten by pets, birds, small children, etc The wattle works well for keeping back the silt runoff in mild to moderate rain. There are totally biodegradable wattles available at building supply stores that are netted with jute that breaks down. The straw makes a good mulch later.

          Seriously Homedepot
          Found in overhead labeled with the wrong numbers....possibly the date - 6 numbers?? Luckily I found a SUPER employee who thought he'd seen them in the overhead. Thx for trying for me over the phone. I am using this to fill my fountain and turn the rain water into plants instead of mosquitos.

            I like my wattles
            I purchased 2 to divert the "BAD" rain water from going into my pool , without I got mud in pool twice. We get so much rain run off from the hills behind us that this is the only thing so far to work. I've got drains but the run off at times is just to much for them to handle. This is my second time to purchase, the others lasted about 3 winters. This product is the best for my situation so far. I highly recommend these if you need to divert water for any reason...
