Silt Fences
Product Overview
A Silt Fence, commonly referred to as a “filter fence,” is a temporary sediment control device extensively utilized on construction sites. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding the water quality of nearby streams, rivers, lakes, and seas from sediment in stormwater runoff. Silt Fences serve as perimeter controls, effectively used alongside sediment basins, traps, and erosion control measures, and they retain sediment in areas with soil disturbance caused by construction activities such as land grading and earthworks.
Printing and Branding:
Our Silt Fences can be customized with printing options for branding or informational purposes, allowing for clear visibility of compliance messages or company logos on-site.

Benefits & Details
Silt Fences are constructed from high-quality filter fabric stretched between wooden or metal stakes positioned along a horizontal contour. They are designed to create pooling areas for runoff, facilitating effective sedimentation. While water permeates through the fabric, fine soil particles can clog the filter material over time, necessitating maintenance and potential replacement.
Key Benefits include:
- Effective Sediment Control:Efficiently captures sediment from stormwater runoff, protecting water quality.
- Quick Installation:Rapid setup process minimizes disruption to construction timelines.
- Cost-Effective: An economical solution for managing sediment on construction sites.
- Environmental Protection:Maintains the integrity of nearby water bodies by preventing sedimentation.
Supply Options:
We offer flexible supply options, including bulk orders and customizable lengths, to meet the specific needs of your project.
Types & Specification
Silt Fences are available in various configurations to meet specific project needs, including:
- Material Options:Different grades of filter fabric, including PP (polypropylene), rPP (recycled polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), and rPE (recycled polyethylene), to suit various soil types and sediment levels.
- Size Options:Available in heights of 3, 4, and 5 feet, with customizable sizes to meet specific requirements.
- Length Options:Offered in standard lengths of 100 and 300 feet, with customization available for larger projects.
- Additional Features:Options for marketing tapes, logo printing, and draw tapes for easy installation. Color choices include black, orange, green, blue, and custom colors to suit branding or project specifications.
- Post Variations:Silt Fences can be secured with metal, wooden, or plastic posts, depending on site conditions and preferences.
Applications
Silt Fences are essential for a range of construction applications, including:
- Construction Sites:Protecting water quality during various construction activities.
- Land Grading:Managing sediment in disturbed soil areas.
- Earthworks:Preventing sediment runoff during excavation and filling.
- Erosion Control:Supporting broader erosion management strategies.
- Mining Operations:Used to control sediment runoff and protect nearby water bodies during mining activities.
- Road Construction:Effective in managing sediment during the construction and maintenance of roadways.
- Remediation Projects:Helps in sediment control during environmental cleanup efforts, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
