Nearly 70% of all construction jobs that require silt fence do not specify the type of fence that must be used. Save money by using superior quality non-spec contractors grade silt fence:
- Economical 36" or 24" width silt
fabrics (MISF 180)
- 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" (Nominal) hardwood stakes
- Stakes spaced every 10' (10' centers)
- 11 stakes per 100' fabric
If you’re stocking a fence with specs other than these for non-spec jobs, your probably paying too much!
*Easy Silt Fence Installation Tip
Silt fence is more durable and resistant to wind damage if each post is twisted 180° during installation. This wraps each post with silt fence fabric on both sides, reducing the likelihood of the fabric tearing away from the post in a high wind situation. | |

Pre-pocketed silt fence provides the highest amount of durability under the harshest weather conditions. With its unique pre-pocketed design, each stake is completely surrounded by silt fence material. This eliminates wind tear away that often occurs in silt fence installations. pre-pocketed silt fence is 36" high MISF 180 fabric, with pockets sewn either 6 feet on center or 8 feet on center. It is available as prefabricated fence with stakes attached in100 feet long rolls or without stakes attached in bulk 500 foot rolls. This unique silt fence is required by several DOTs across the country.

Oriented polypropylene mesh is ideal for use on supported silt fence requirements. This incredibly strong yet flexible material is an accepted alternative by many state DOT in place of 14 or 16 gauge wire backing. This versatile material is also perfect for erosion control in conjunction with hydroseeding, birdnetting, and training vines.
