Commercial Silt Fence

Geotextile Filter Fence

A commercial silt fence is a temporary device often found on construction sites. It allows water to filter through while holding sediment and other contaminants like trash and debris back. In doing so, silt fences help protect nearby bodies of water from pollutants, especially in construction zones with heavy sediment disturbances. When installing this product, it is critical to consider the height, type of posts, and other fence details. In addition, proper product installation is vital to reduce the risk of failure.

Silt fencing is woven polypropylene and is non-biodegradable. This engineered geotextile is stabilized to resist degradation due to ultraviolet exposure. Furthermore, it resists commonly encountered soil chemicals, mildew, and insects. Polypropylene is stable within a pH range of 2 to 13, making it one of the most stable polymers available for geotextiles today.
