What Exactly is a Hesco Barrier?
Put simply, a Hesco barrier is a modern version of the old-fashioned sandbag. While traditional sandbags are small and slow to stack, a Hesco barrier is a giant, foldable cage that can be filled quickly with a machine.
Structure Compositio
- The Steel Mesh: A heavy-duty, galvanized wire frame that gives the barrier its shape and strength.
- The Geotextile Liner: A thick, non-woven fabric inside the mesh that keeps the sand or earth from leaking out.
- The Joiner Pins: These allow you to connect multiple units together to form a long, continuous wall.
Installation Instructions
- Clear the ground, remove large rocks and unfold the Hesco unit.Position it properly and connect multiple units with joiner pins if needed.
- Fill the cells evenly with sand, dirt or gravel,Then lightly compact the top to avoid air pockets.
How Long Do They Last?
- In Normal Conditions: You can expect a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
- In Harsh Conditions: If you are near the ocean (salt spray) or in a very acidic swamp, the lifespan might be 15 to 20 years.
