Yes, It turned out that only one cinder block washed thru the culvert pipe. It was the one that I filmed, sitting at the bottom of the outflow area. We live in a hilly area, so the stream fills up quickly when we get a big storm. I believe that I know a good solution to the trail damage on the hill. That will be a future video. Have a great day!
Yes no fun dealing with big rains on long running trail slopes. I solved this the first year building water bars at 30 degrees to the road directing water to the most favorable natural flow. Put one every 30 to 40 feet which breaks up the water shed into sections. No issues, basically no maintenance. No fancy drains. Don't make it too bumpy. Love it when it rains now! Take care...
Hello Steve. Very nice to hear from you! I watched your videos on making a headwall with Quikcrete bags. I’m not sure what water bars are. I was thinking of digging a trench just uphill from the trench drain and filling it with gravel. In addition, I would sink the trench drain a few inches and cover with gravel. That way all of the wood chips and mud would stay out of it. I will definitely look into the wet bar solution. Thank you!
@@AdventuresAtHome1 Good to talk to you too! I am sure that would help. I just created a "water bar" video to explain what i did on my channel for you. Maybe it will give you an idea. I went out today in the rain and had some major log jams that sent water to the wrong area washing away soil by the foot. I wish I caught it sooner. Take care and have a good weekend!
@@SteveAddis Hello Steve, I just watched a video where they used old “W” guard rails buried on an angle to redirect the water away from the driveway. The guardrails are 12 gauge, galvanized steel and last for a very long time. The only issue is, where do you get used guard rails. I’m going to try splitting some long 4 inch rigid pvc pipes and set those into the trail/road. Video to come in the near future.
@@SteveAddis Hello Steve, I watched that video a couple days ago. That is a good idea. Here is the link to the video with the guy using guard rails to accomplish the same thing. Again, I’m thinking of using rigid pvc pipe: ua-cam.com/video/x_l0AQhBUik/v-deo.html
@@AdventuresAtHome1 Sorry, i did not know you watched it. I am going to look at your video. PVC lasts forever and the grey will do well in UV. I still have some places need work. It would be nice to make it so that it self flushes. Thanks!
That was some damage. You must have had some real current to move those blocks!
