Beaver Problems?
The Beaver Cone stops beavers from plugging your culvert and is
designed to promote the free flow of water and the passage of fish.
BEAVERS PLUGGING CULVERTS, BEAVER PROBLEMS,
CULVERTS PLUGGED, AND PLUGGED CULVERTS.
INSTALLED PROPERLY IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR A BEAVER TO PLUG THIS DEVICE, NO ICE UPS. IF A CONE EVER GETS DAMAGED IT IS EASILY REPAIRED ON SITE.
CUT OUT DAMAGED BARS AND WELD IN NEW.
IF A ROAD IS SHUT DOWN IT ONLY TAKES 15 MINUTES TO REMOVE THE CONE.
THE CONES STACK TOGETHER, CONES LIFT FOR CLEANING.
THERE IS NO OTHER CULVERT DEVICE ON THE MARKET THAT CAN MAKE THESE CLAIMS.
ON SMALLER SIZES, WE RECOMMEND A PERFORATED INNER LINER PIPE
AS SHOWN UNDER PRODUCT PICTURES.
INSTALLATION AND CLEAN OUT INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEAVERCONE:
THE INSTALL:
In front of the culvert where the cone goes, first excavate a hole a little wider than the culvert and one to two feet deep providing there is no bedrock. This gives the beaver a problem as he has to fill this hole before he can start anything. Now mount the beavercone over the end of the culvert and fasten the two chains to the culvert with the enclosed bolts. You will have to drill holes in the culvert for the chains. The beavercone hangs off of the end of the culvert. Next, insert a cable into the lift lug at the small end of the cone, then bring the cable up to the grass line, clamp the cable together with cable clamps and now by using a piece of 2” x 2” peg the cable at the grass line and paint the top of the peg fluorescent orange. This becomes your culvert locator peg and it is needed to find the cone if it gets plugged and the water rises.
A beaver starts plugging a culvert when the water is down to 2 or 3 inches.
They always work with the flow of water and use the flow of water to help move the material and shove everything in front of them.
The streamaster is designed so that the 2 or 3 inches of water is below the transverse bars so the beaver, with its short legs, cannot walk on the transverse cross bars to shove the blockage material in front of them.
There is a 5-inch clearance below the transverse bars, which allows fish and turtles to pass through.
A beaver cannot work with high fast water but the streamaster allows the passage of larger fish for spawning in high water.
The streamaster is equipped to take a six-inch perforated pipe through the center and about one foot into the culvert and the rest out over the water, holes down.
The streamaster is designed to take heavy snow and ice loads.
Like the beavercone, it lifts for cleaning. Installation time is about one-half hour.
Comes in 6’ and 7’6” lengths. Sizes from 500 mm to 1200 mm.
When installing the Streamaster, place a 2” x 4” x 3 foot or a 4” x 4” x 3 foot near each end. This helps the Streamaster from sinking into the mud and raises it so that the bottom touches the bottom of the culvert.
