Concrete Bag Culvert Wall 

Barbed wire? what??? How about some rebar ties lol

@@scottcoleman7304 it's a standard technique for earth bag and Sackrete construction. The barbs pierce the bag and lodge into the material and keep them from sliding around out of position. Rebar works BUT there's a tendency for the hardened Sackrete to rotate around a rebar stake in heavy flooding conditions unless you put two stakes in at 1/3 in on both ends. I haven't looked for them but I bet there's instructional videos on RU-vid on the way it's best done.

Thank you! We are very happy with it as well.

We’re happy how it turned out, it’s been holding really well. Only time will tell🙂

Yes sir, we will do a follow up for everyone to see.👍🏻 It’s holding up very well.

Thank you!🙂

Thank you very much!

Thank you! It was a fun project that serves a great purpose.😃

Thank you!🙂

Hi Bill, We just got 3.5” of rain in a single day, everything is holding up very well. I’m very pleased with how the culvert walls are holding up. For the cost and simple process it’s worked for us.

Bill concrete lile this doesnt stop water so those gaps are ok also hes tied it with rebar the only mistake made was not pounding 2ft of rebar into the ground first to lay the first bags on this method is quite common

@@nicholasfontaine4305 rebar straight into ground will rust back up into the concrete it rusts and expands and cracks the concrete open eventually rebar must be fully enclosed, add 10 years to its life

Correct! We took our paper off the bags after a couple of rains.

Yes, HDPE Corrugated pipe. Holding up very well!

If I remember correctly they are 36” x 18’

It was a good workout! 💪🏻

I also don't see this lasting long. I am about to fix my culvert erosion with soil liners and large rock plus some concrete.
