Lake Powell's sandstone shorelines
Years of pinning (drilling holes to enable pin anchoring) on Lake Powell's sandstone shorelines have left many coves and canyons looking like Swiss Cheese. In popular areas hundreds of holes 1.5 inches in diameter 18-24 inches deep can be found. Not only are these drilling scars unsightly, they weaken the sandstone and accelerate damage and erosion.
In community with the National Park Service we're repairing unsightly and destructive pin anchoring scars and, as Beach Bag's use grows, we plan on donating a percentage of our profits to the cause.
We've begun identifying and locating old drill holes and repairing them with a specialized sandstone composite that mirrors the composition and color of the surrounding shoreline.
And we'll always be hunting for more holes (there's thousands to find and fill). So, rest assured that when you use Beach Bags you'll definitely get your fill.
As of January 2023 the Beach Bags crew completed restoring the pinholes created by our 2022 Wind Load Testing Program using a specialized mortar from JANH, Cathedral Stone. Its unique formula is scientifically engineered to match the physical properties of sandstone in terms of elasticity and porosity as well as tensile and compressive strength. Repairs began following comprehensive training for our team on the use of Cathedral Stone in Baltimore, Maryland.
