Rip Rap (Class B (2″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class B (2" to 6") Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class B size range (2" to 6") is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and mechanically breaking down larger rock, this material is specifically sized to provide effective erosion control and slope stabilization.
The 2" to 6" size range is ideal for projects requiring substantial resistance to water flow and soil displacement. The larger, irregular stones interlock to form a stable barrier, making this rip rap especially effective for lining channels, protecting shorelines, reinforcing culverts, and stabilizing embankments. Its size allows for excellent drainage while preventing soil washout, but it is not suitable for areas needing a smooth or compacted surface.
Commonly used in both residential and commercial settings, Class B rip rap is valued for its strength, longevity, and low maintenance. While its coarse texture and size make it less suitable for decorative or pedestrian areas, it excels in heavy-duty applications where erosion control and structural integrity are priorities.
