<br />Woven Wire Fence Revetment <br /> <br />Woven wire fence can be used to stabilize stream banks with relatl.vely low <br />velocities. Posts are driven into the channel along the toe of the bank at <br />six to eight feet spacings. Woven wire-fencing material is attached to the <br />posts on the channel side of the posts. The bank behind the fencl.ng should be <br />shaped to a slope no steeper than 1,5 horizontal to 1 vertical and then <br />seeded. This practice has achieved Lts intended results when the bank behind <br />the fence has been completely stabilized with vegetation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Another variation to this practice is to use live willow posts. These posts <br />should be three to five inches diameter and spaced on a four foot spacins, <br />Fiber netting is tied to the posts to provide protection at the toe until the <br />wiLlows get established. The bank behind the willow posts should be shaped <br />and seeded. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />~aintenance on these practices includes inspecting the fencing and vegeta- <br />tion. Any loose or broken wires should be repaired. Any seeded areas which <br />have been eroded should be reshaped and seeded. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br /> ~ <br /> . <br /> . <br />I <br /> , <br /> .. <br />I <br /> ~ <br /> ~ <br />64 ~ <br />
