A waterfront home can be an investment. Neglecting to consider the effects of water on your property could have devastating consequences for the property’s value. Seawalls can be an attractive solution to water erosion. They also, if you live on a coast, can help reduce the damage that storm surges can cause to your property.
Seawall Design
Vertical
Vertical seawalls, as the name suggests, are built vertically against the shore. These seawalls are ideal for areas where large waves can crash over long periods of times. These creatures protect the shore from erosion, but they require regular maintenance and repairs because of the constant beating they receive from the waves.
Curved
Curved Seawalls are curved and follow the shore. They have a more curved structure to absorb energy from the crashing waves. Curved sea walls allow waves to break, allowing the energy of the waves to dissipate and be repelled into the sea.
Vinyl
Vinyl seawalls can last for at least 50 years. Vinyl material is resistant to the sun’s heat and energy as well as sea creatures and burrowing organisms. Vinyl material is easy to install, so it won’t crack or break. Vinyl is a cost-effective and efficient material that requires little maintenance.
Wood
Timber seawalls can last for 20-40 years and are less expensive than other types. These seawalls can be used to protect waterways with low impacts, including those that run from the ocean to the mainland. It may be difficult to install on hard ground. As with all wooden structures close to water, they are susceptible to wood rot. Your wooden seawall will last longer if it is well maintained.
