Helpful Tips
- Flashboard Risers
- Full Round Risers
- Flap Gates
- Beaver Guards
- Screw Gates (Water Man Screw Gates)
- ADS Pipe
Flashboard Risers
- These flashboards riser are a great tool when incrementally flooding or draining waterfowl impoundments
- Easy installation
- Constructed of high quality polyethylene, which will withstand sub-zero temperatures without cracking or breaking
- Boards allow easy water level management
- Permanently installed flashboard risers permit landowners to flood green tree reservoirs, moist soil impoundments, soybean and rice fields to provide excellent wintering waterfowl habitat
- Prevents costly erosion of topsoil
- Improves water quality in local watersheds
- Steel powder coated frames provide stability and a high quality finish that is resistant to outdoor conditions
- Anchors on frame keep risers in place
- Cost share approved
Riser Specifications are as follows:
Height | Width | Discharge |

Full Round Risers
- Best use where problematic animals are present a.k.a. MR. BEAVER!
- Five Oaks Wildlife Services highly recommends installing the full round riser in green tree reservoirs
- Constructed from the same high quality polyethylene as the Flashboard Risers
- Lockable lid allows security of water management
- Structure is enclosed from all external elements that could be encountered in the field
- Same sizes as the Flashboard Risers are available
Flap Gates
- Constructed with quality materials and has a powder coated bracket to ensure a long life
- These flap gates prevent water from backing into your fields, pond, moist soil impoundment, or green tree reservoir.
- No drilling required for installation
Beaver Guards
- No Drilling required for installation
- Powder coat finish for years of service
- Prevents beavers from entering pipes and preventing water flow
- Drainage of fields and waterfowl impoundments is critical for management
Screw Gates (WATER MAN SCREW GATES)
- Screw gates are an excellent tool for managing water in Irrigation Systems
- From waterfowl management to irrigation water delivery systems where large volumes of water are used screw gates are the ticket
- Designed for use on canal and pipeline systems with low “head”
- Stem operated from a lift nut at top of frame
- Wedge blocks ensure a tight seal between gate and pipe
ADS PIPE
N-12 Dual Wall Pipe
- Constructed from high density polyethylene
- High impact resistant
- Easy to install
- Outperforms and outlasts concrete and steel
- Anticipated life of over 70 years
- Unaffected by soils with pH ranges from 1.5 to 14
- Wide Variety of uses
- Works perfectly with all other drainage products
Fittings
- Tees
- Stop erosion of roads and ditches
- Connect two adjacent pipelines
Elbows
- Redirect a pipeline 90 degrees
Couplers
- Quick and easy way to connect two joints of ADS pipe or ADS fittings
