About 6 years ago, I stopped this inlet washout from progressing any further by way of constructing this concrete apron. At first, the water spilling over the edge slightly undermined the bottom side of the apron, but stopped doing so after progressing a few inches. The rip rap below the apron disperses the force of the falling water.



When building this one, I miscalculated full pool level and placed it a bit low. Nevertheless, it still works pretty good. All I have invested in either one is about a dozen bags of redi-mix, some re-bar, and a little sweat equity......... Also, these are pretty easy to mow over.
