Concrete Bag Wall

A big rainstorm came through Blue Spring Farm last week. We finally finished out the other side of the culverts by installing the concrete bag wall that was needed. Ryan & Kylar knocked it out in one day and it's already rained again and solidified this section of wall. Our creek culvert walls are complete!

I had two bag of concrete get wet in my garage. No joke those things weren’t going anywhere. Two bad I didn’t put them somewhere useful before they got wet. 😂 🤪

Never enough time or money to do it right the first time...

[@BlueSpringFarm]

This is best decision we’ve ever made. Worked well for us and still standing like new!

[@davidwright1752]

Brilliant

[@BlueSpringFarm]

Thanks!🤘🏻

I guess one rip would be to do the intake side first in case you get a big rain!

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

I really like how everything turned out it’s just my concern on the top on how they crack

[@BlueSpringFarm]

It’s been holding up really well. We’ve had a lot of big storms. Cracks haven’t changed, will keep everyone updated as time goes by.

[@rhettbaldwin8320]

@@BlueSpringFarm Water the top where the cracks are, then pour some of that concrete mix on the top and work it in the cracks, then water, then repeat until the crack is filled. To prevent them from cracking in the first place you could have added some tape to hold the bags together as the concrete cured.

You may need to make guided ditch waterfall

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

But still one hell of a good job

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

Not if you dig it the way you want it like how you have the bags lay down a big piece of plywood in the entrance of the pipes and pour the cement and have it all liquidy but knowing where you live I don’t think he would have access to the hose

You need to go farther into the bank to anchor your bridge bulkhead but good luck

[@odiswhitetexas]

Ryan, have you had an even bigger rain since this video? If so, how did it perform? Also, why did you put the retaining wall on the "outlet" side first vs. the "inlet" side?

[@BlueSpringFarm]

Yes we’ve have a lot of big rains this year and the walls have held up very well! Doesn’t look any different then they did at install.

[@odiswhitetexas]

@@BlueSpringFarm I have another question, has the water ever ran above the culverts and over the road? If so, what was the result?

[@user-zw1xs8qw9y]

outlet sides have more turbulence and undercut culverts. slope road to drain to input side the best.

[@susanpeterson384]

Just wondering about cracking in NY State weather?

[@darrellpatton4008]

The first wall you built looks like you used giant blocks to build the wall.

[@Bluechulappa]

Great channel. How big are those culverts?

[@NR-pn6mn]

Great job! What country are you 2 knuckleheads from sir❓Australia or South Africa

[@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291]

Why did y’all stop making videos?

Why did you quit making videos?

I wish u had put ur camera on a tripod... I’m getting seasick

[@heidilong4149]

Can’t really see what your doing

[@littlefurrow2437]

In Australia, that would make a 200-300 dollar job into potential thousands.

[@BlueSpringFarm]

Why is that? Soil different?
We’re very pleased with how it turned out and still standing strong!💪🏻

[@littlefurrow2437]

@@BlueSpringFarm way cheaper to make a slip form stone wall

[@raynic1173]

@@littlefurrow2437 similar to my thinking, these concrete bags really do not bond one to another. They just become heavy bricks...and create a reasonable abrasion resistance to water, imho. but, they're cheap for their size

[@josephlee7325]

Your rebar isn't really needed
