I watch these videos over and over and keep learning. I put a wall around my irrigation pond for my nursery and now I'm gonna do a retaining wall out of this same vinyl material. Your help has been appreciated.
Dale, just subscribed. Have learned so much from your videos and I am paying close attention. About 5 inches of rain in an hour in July was more than our seawall could handle and it buckled along the waterline - probably needs to be replaced. I wish you and your crew worked Florida's NE Atlantic coast but your videos have made me aware of the right questions to ask when hiring a seawall contractor in this area. Keep putting out those great videos!
I replaced my own tiebacks 10 years ago with 3/4" 304 stainless and one of them already broke from rust/corrosion. What should I use now? I knew I should have originally used 316 and 1". What do you think?
Thanks for your question. I thought I had already answered this this morning, but I don’t see my reply. I would definitely go with the type 316. I used to use type 304, but I realize it was not working out because it’s not a pure stainless steel. It Really depends on the elevation and the back load on the wall as far as the diameter of the rod needed to be used. We typically use 5/8 on our walls. We will go as much as 3/4 to 1 inch if the back load requires
August good to hear from you took six weeks off to recover my bicep tear. Back in the action now so I’ll be producing some more videos as we complete jobs. Thanks so much for watching and commenting
Thanks Dale, I appreciate your video……as a matter of fact I entered the shoreline business last fall in Lake Erie here in Ontario. Watched many of your videos repetitively to learn about the business. Thanks so much!
That is pretty cool don’t think I could give a whole Lotta help in Rocky situation‘s we just deal with sand and clay down here. Good luck in your endeavors. Just do what you say you’re going to do and do a little bit better and you will be successful.
I have Tried welding a plate on a breaker hammer once before and it just broke apart that will not hold up, but thanks for watching my channel and your question
Thank you so much for watching my TH-cam channel and your comment! ¿cómo estás hoy? We use the Everlast heavy sheet typically minimum links or 12 foot that we use on up to 20 feet
The thickness on the vinyl we use is .35. everlastseawalls.com/?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxOymBhAFEiwAnodBLFjzw9eczXHuUEEcYHhImOwnYacOvzdoAZKwFZ1ZsEn9OGy07YMcmxoCnnEQAvD_BwE
My contractor used I-Beam dead-mans driven 10' into the ground and spaced about 10' apart. From each I-Beam, he connected rods that connect to the wall. In addition, my wall has two (one, high one low) I-Beams attached horizontally to it, which are also connected to the dead-mans by another I-Beam. I'm surprised to see the deadman pipes here are only 6' long. I suspect my installation will far outlast this one.
Thanks for your question I like to install pilings in front of walls that are exposed more than 5 foot with the Center whaler Support in the Piling this keeps the center of the wall from bowing out.
@@DaleWHickman That is what I guessed, you are lucky. I need to build foundations for heavy stainless steel whips for a 45' catermaran on a solid coral rock seawall. Can't figure out what direction to go...

Thanks so much for the compliment I don’t know how I overlooked your comment thank you so much
Brings back memories of doing a 900 ft deadman along the Chelsea Creek in Boston. Learned so many skills during that job.
Thank you so much, this is really so helpful to understand as a homeowner with a seawall. Thanks!
Dale do you have a contact for a used plate compactor? Have a 308 Cat that I looking one for.
Dale great instinctual video, thanks sharing your knowledge with everyone
Thanks Paul are you getting hunker down for cold weather? we had a little blast at 40° here this morning
@@DaleWHickman yep its getting colder here in New York...
Sir I would really appreciate if u could let me know .How much is the average pay for this type of job & thank u so much !
Great job informative. Would like to see just a little more details on the final product. Anchoring hooks or eyebolts at seawall, etc. Thanks again.
Thanks for the idea!
Awesome video. Thanks from NC.
Thank you John and thanks for the comment 😄

First like. How's it going Dale ? Been missing your videos ! Thumbs up.

@@DaleWHickman, Excellent, can't wait ! Hope your arm is much better now.
Great work boss, I seriously thinking about taking the marine contractor test. Is it as intense as I hear?
Thanks for watching your comment. Yeah it’s pretty intense. A lot of stuff that we don’t even do two times believe it or not.😄
Hi Dale, would you share the brand of drag plate tie backs your using? Would be interesting to try them out here in Canada.
Thanks for watching my video David! The tie back system is Manta Ray soil anchors you can Google that and it will pop up 👍

Can u install those using a mini escavator and a breaker hammer attatchment
I have Tried welding a plate on a breaker hammer once before and it just broke apart that will not hold up, but thanks for watching my channel and your question
@@DaleWHickman the rods dont attatch to ur hammer? We use a 90lb air hammer with a coupling that screws on a hammer bit
Thank u for this video and information.
Dale, te escribo desde Colombia.. Una pregunta,: Qué tipo de láminas usas?... O, cómo se llaman?.

That sounds great. Steel I beams in environment that I work in would not last super long so that’s why we choose Wood.
What kind of vibratory hammer is that. Do you recommend any brand in particular?
Can you all do this kind of work in Jamaica
Thanks for watching my videos. I appreciate it and yes I can do the work in Jamaica but I choose to stay here we have plenty to do. 😃😃👍
I hated doing bulkhead work. Built tons of these in the early 2000's on Texas coast
😂😂
It is definitely tough work equipment does make it a lot easier 👍
Why are your posts in front of the vinyl and whalers? I'm a subscriber and interested in building a seawall.
Thanks for your question I like to install pilings in front of walls that are exposed more than 5 foot with the Center whaler Support in the Piling this keeps the center of the wall from bowing out.
Are you driving into sand or coral rock?
Thanks for watching in your question, but thank God we only have Sand here and some hard pan clay.

Have you ever had a mantaray fail
I have had some fail in muddy areas, and I change them out to a swamp anchor, and went back additional depth until they would hold
