Do you live by the water and need reliable bank protection? At Houthandel Jan Sok we supply hardwood sheet piling boards, revetment planks and wales of the highest quality. Our sheet piling products are made from Azobé hardwood — the species that has been used for hydraulic engineering in the Netherlands for generations.

Why Azobé for sheet piling and bank protection?

Azobé (Lophira alata) belongs to durability class 1 and is extremely resistant to permanent water contact, ground pressure and biological attack. A properly installed hardwood sheet pile wall lasts 30 to 50 years — without any additional treatment. This makes Azobé the most cost-effective solution for bank protection over the long term.

Our sheet piling range

  • Sheet piling boards — Azobé boards with tongue-and-groove joints in thicknesses from 30–50 mm and lengths from 2.00–5.00 m.
  • Revetment planks — Azobé planks for lighter bank protection along ditches, ponds and garden water features.
  • Wales — Hardwood waling and thrust beams for the structural anchoring of your sheet pile wall.

Veelgestelde vragen

Which timber is best for bank protection?

Azobé is the gold standard: durability class 1, extremely hard and resistant to permanent water contact.

Do you also sell plastic sheet piling?

Our range focuses on hardwood sheet piling. Contact us for advice on the best solution for your situation.

How deep must sheet piling go into the ground?

As a rule of thumb: at least one-third of the total board height must be below ground level. With a water depth of 1 metre and 50 cm of board above water, you need boards of at least 225 cm (75 cm in the ground).

Can I install bank protection myself?

For a small pond or ditch edge this is possible with our DIY revetment kit. For larger projects (ditches, watercourses) we recommend a professional contractor. We can refer you to experienced revetment installers in your area.
