Keep Erosion in Check with Our Wire Back Reinforced Silt Fence

When it comes to protecting your land from erosion and sediment damage, our silt fence does the heavy lifting. 

Farm Plastic Supply Wire Backed Silt Fence is great for controlling erosion on construction sites, agricultural areas, or any other area where erosion and sediment runoff is an issue. Also known as a reinforced silt fence, the wire backing on these types of silt fences provides much more stability to the fence making it stronger and less likely to collapse or fail. Use wire back silt fences in areas with high flow rates, steep slopes, and windy conditions. They are a more long term alternative to regular silt fences. 

It’s a straightforward solution with a big impact – ideal for anyone looking to keep their property clean and environmentally friendly.

Why Customers Choose Our Silt Fencing

You might wonder, “Why go with a silt fence?” Well, erosion control isn’t just about keeping soil in place; it’s about protecting the land and its natural resources. 

Erosion and sediment aren’t just nuisances; they’re costly headaches when left unchecked. By slowing stormwater flow and holding soil in place, our silt fence minimizes runoff, prevents flooding, and keeps your site stable. 

It’s a solution you can depend on to keep erosion – and related issues – under control.

Standout Features of Our Silt Fence

Now, let’s talk specifics. Our silt fence covers an impressive 3 feet by 100 feet, making it flexible for various site sizes. 

Each fence is equipped with 11 sturdy 4-foot stakes that secure it firmly, even in challenging conditions. And that durable woven polypropylene? 

It’s built to last, ensuring you won’t have to replace it after every rainy season. This isn’t your average fence; it’s built with purpose, precision, and performance in mind.

Silt Fencing: Your Solution to Sediment Control

Let’s face it: sediment is one of those things you don’t really notice until it’s a problem. And when it’s a problem, it’s a big one – clogging storm drains, damaging waterways, and creating costly environmental concerns. 

Our silt fence captures that sediment right at the source, allowing water to flow through while holding back the debris. 

It’s a smart way to avoid the hassle of runoff damage and keep the environment cleaner, all in one go.

Step-By-Step Instructions For Installing A Silt Fence

Step 1: Lay Out a Path and mark the path for your Silt Fence, knowing that it is intended to prevent Silt from Washing Downhill off your worksite. You then install your Silt Fence in line with, not perpendicular to the contour of your site. Install the fence run below the areas you're disturbing. Also avoid creating U-Shaped fenced-in low spots where rainwater and sediment could collect there. 

Step 2: Dig a Trench for the entire run of your Silt Fence that is at least 4 inches deep. A V-Shaped trench is the easiest if you're digging by hand. But a 4"x4" square trench works as well. 

Step 3: Set the Stakes as you move along burying the bottom of the silt fence fabric, pound the fence stakes into the ground every eight feet. We used a 10-lb. maul. Silt fence should stand at least 14 inches above the ground; check the regulations in your area. Where two sections of silt fence meet, overlap the fence ends to cover a span of two posts. 

Step 4: Backfill the Trough you dug and make sure the uphill side of the silt fence fabric is buried and underground. Use a Compactor and Tamp the Soil firmly over the fabric. You don't have to place the dirt behind the fabric and the stakes. Just make sure that all of the stakes are solidly in the ground to keep the fence from collapsing and causing damage to the area that you are working in.
