Have been looking at diff seawall options as currently have rip rap and tired of the snake dens, re-stacking annually, etc. Has anyone ever had an experience with such as any feedback would be appreciated.
Have considered the following and here are my thoughts on each:
Wood - Will not last over 15 or 20 years (my opinion) Pured Block - To many failure points GeoStone - Almost as expensive as poured concrete wall Poured concrete - Expensive to say the least
Vinyl - Guaranteed for 50 years plus cost of materials including all tie backs, bolts, washers, wales, etc about $53.00 a linear foot for an average 7 foot tall wall plus installation (which appears rather simple, just time consuming) and does not require concrete footings, etc.
If anyone is interested here a a link to one of the companies website I am considering and their manufacturing plant is in Bham, so freight is cheap. Plus have engineers which will spec out your job based on the lakebed soil (clay, sand, etc) and the grade of lot to the seawall. For the engineers in the group you can check out their engineering plans by clicking on the Engineering link in the left nav bar.
