Overview
A silt fence is a type of temporary sediment control device used to prevent soil erosion and sediment runoff on construction sites and other areas where soil disturbance occurs. It is a barrier made of permeable geotextile fabric, which is installed along the contour of the land to intercept and filter sediment-laden runoff water. The silt fence is designed to slow down the flow of water and allow sediment to settle out, thereby reducing the amount of sediment that reaches nearby waterways. The silt fence should be installed at the base of a slope or on the contour of the land, and it should be staked tightly enough to prevent water from flowing around or under it.
Name of the substance
Filter fence, Porous Fabric, Temporary linear sediment barrier of permeable fabric
Our Product Quality
Our silt fences are manufactured with top-quality materials and designed to meet the highest standards of performance and durability. The fabric used in our silt fences is made of heavy-duty, UV-stabilized polypropylene, which is resistant to tearing, puncturing, and degradation from exposure to sunlight and weather. The fabric is also designed with a high permeability rate, allowing water to pass through while trapping sediment and other pollutants.
Our silt fences are reinforced with sturdy stakes made of high-quality wood or metal, depending on the customer’s preference. The stakes are driven into the ground at regular intervals along the fence line, providing strong support and ensuring that the fence stays in place even in harsh weather conditions. We take pride in the quality of our silt fences and stand behind our products with a satisfaction guarantee. Whether you are looking for a temporary or permanent erosion control solution, our silt fences are the perfect choice for your needs.

Salient Features
Silt fences are typically made of woven geotextile fabric, which is designed to allow water to pass through while retaining sediment
Silt fences are generally effective at reducing sediment runoff, but their effectiveness can be affected by factors such as slope, soil type, and rainfall intensity
It is installed by digging a trench along the perimeter of the construction site, inserting wooden or metal stakes into the ground, and attaching the geotextile fabric to the stakes with wire or ties
Regular maintenance require to ensure that they remain effective. This may include checking for tears or damage, removing accumulated sediment, and replacing damaged stakes or fabric.
It may be subject to regulations at the local, state, or federal level, and failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines or other penalties.
Silt fences are a cost-effective and widely used sediment control measure that can help to protect water quality and prevent soil erosion on construction sites.
