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 committed to repairing those unsightly and destructive pin anchoring scars and, as Beach Bag's use grows, donating a percentage of our profits to the cause.
Plans are in the works to identify old drill holes and to then fill and seal them with a specialized sandstone composite that mirrors the composition and color of the surrounding shoreline.
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 always get your fill.
In cooperation with the National Park Service, our crew is restoring pinholes created during the Wind Load Testing Program using a specialized mortar, JAHN, scientifically engineered to match the physical properties of sandstone in terms of elasticity and porosity as well as tensile and compressive strength. Repairs are scheduled to begin in December following training in Baltimore, Maryland. Follow us on Social Media for updates.
