Effective Erosion Control Silt Fence Solutions
Reliable Erosion Control Product
Our erosion control silt fences are the perfect solution for controlling silt and sediment on construction sites, job sites, and other areas that are susceptible to soil displacement.
Also, the silt fences are designed to support perimeter control, sediment containment, and erosion prevention, where they help protect the environment while maintaining water flow around your project site.
Additionally, they are crafted from durable geotextile fabric to ensure superior performance in both standard and heavy-duty applications. They especially help prevent sediment displacement to protect nearby waterways and help maintain cleaner, safer construction sites. Moreover, their versatility makes them ideal for erosion control across various industries, including construction, agriculture, and environmental management to ensure compliance with sediment control regulations.

Benefits of Using a Silt Fence:
- Effective Sediment Control: Prevents soil and sediment from contaminating nearby water sources
- Eco-Friendly: Reduce erosion and protect the surrounding environment
- Durable Materials: High-quality geotextile fabric that withstands varying weather conditions
- Flexible Options: Available in multiple grades to suit your project requirements
To meet different project needs, our silt fences come in three fabric grades:
- Economy (50 gram): They are lightweight and cost-effective for smaller, less demanding applications
- Contractor (70 gram): Durable choice for typical construction projects
- DOT (100 gram): Heavy-duty fabric designed to meet strict requirements for large-scale or high-impact jobs

Applications of Erosion Control Silt Fences
Silt fences are ideal for construction sites where sediment runoff can cause environmental issues or disrupt nearby water sources.
They are commonly placed around the perimeter of work areas to trap displaced soil and prevent erosion during heavy rain or site activities.
As for road projects, silt fences are used to protect drainage systems and prevent sediment from clogging waterways. Their durable design ensures they can withstand various weather conditions and provide effective erosion control throughout the project timeline.
In landscaping and gardening projects, these products help stabilize soil while maintaining proper water flow. This makes them an excellent choice for protecting gardens, slopes, or any area prone to soil displacement. Also, environmental projects can benefit from silt fences, as they help meet compliance regulations by preventing sediment from entering nearby streams, rivers, or wetlands.
Silt Fence Installation Guide
For most construction sites dealing with sheet flow, silt fencing is installed by excavating a trench and securing the bottom of the fabric into the trench.
Fabric is usually buried about six inches (6) to help withstand water, sediment and increased weight. Posts should be attached to the fencing and then placed into the ground.
Recommended Post Spacing
The spacing for posts may vary depending on the site conditions, the amount of water buildup, and the type of fabric used:
- Standard conditions: Posts should be placed no more than 8-10 feet apart
- Heavy water flow or heavy-duty fabric: Stakes should be spaced closer together, about 5-6 feet apart, to provide extra support
Placement Guidelines
To achieve maximum effectiveness in controlling sediment runoff, install silt fencing in two rows spaced about three feet (3') apart. This dual-row setup acts as a backup, providing added security for your construction site against sediment overflow.
Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance. Inspect all fencing:
- After each rainfall event.
- When there is significant sediment buildup on the fabric. Address any tears, sagging, or dislodged posts promptly to maintain effective erosion control.
