Rip Rap (200 Lb)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 200 Lb Size Range
Rip Rap in a 200 lb size range is a large, durable stone material commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down massive rocks, each piece typically weighs around 200 pounds, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and resistance to water flow are critical.
The substantial size of 200 lb Rip Rap provides excellent protection against soil erosion caused by strong currents, waves, or runoff. Its weight and irregular shape help lock the stones in place, reducing movement and creating a robust barrier. This material is frequently used in commercial and residential projects such as riverbanks, seawalls, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or small-scale landscaping, it excels in high-impact environments where long-term durability and minimal maintenance are priorities.
