Quikrete rip rap is designed for your application. Anyone that sells Quikrete should be able to order it for you. Pallet quantities only probably (42 bags). I work for Quikrete

I always thought this was a cool idea and cheaper than a new bulkhead.

We live on the shallow end of the lake and only need to go 2 bags high, so concrete sacks are a good solution. Luckily the ones I set were for a path and not along the lake front. Looks like the Rip Rap is the way to go.
Procraft2000, I assume I can order from Home Depot???
Thanks for the help guys!

It works. Even better if you drive 3/8 rebar down though them to tie them all together yes hose them down, otherwise a lot of the cement powder will float off

Built a whole dam in my parents creek using bags of concrete and rebar. Dam is still there 20 years later. We went about 6 rows high and 10 or so across. Not a huge dam, but it holds up during storms where the water gets 7-8' deep and running pretty good.
What a maroon!
