Rip Rap (2.5″ To 6.5″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 2.5" to 6.5" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 2.5" to 6.5" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly produced from crushed stone or natural rock. This material is specifically sized to provide effective erosion control and slope stabilization, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments. The substantial size of each piece ensures that the material stays in place even under heavy water flow or wind, reducing the risk of washout.
The 2.5" to 6.5" size range is ideal for lining shorelines, riverbanks, culverts, and drainage channels, as well as for use around bridge abutments and retaining walls. Its large, irregular pieces interlock to form a stable barrier, offering excellent protection against soil erosion. While this size is not suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, it excels in heavy-duty applications where strength and longevity are critical. Rip Rap is valued for its low maintenance and long-term performance in both residential and commercial projects.
