Fast Temporary Sediment and Erosion Control Solution On Job Sites!
Sandbaggy Black Silt Fence Fabric is a fast & effective temporary sediment and erosion control solution, perfect for construction job sites. This woven geotextile filter fabric allows water to pass through, but not soil. They are 3 ft wide and 500 ft long.
Our silt fence rolls are strong and are UV Stabilized (UV inhibitors added to the fabric). They’re available in both a commercial grade and DOT grade option. Use the commercial grade for standard job sites, and the DOT grade, which is more heavy duty, when it’s required by the site engineer. (Our DOT Grade fabric is 2x thicker than our commercial grade fabric)

FAQ
What is the purpose of a silt fence?
Silt fences are used to retain soil on a construction site or any other disturbed land. It’s important to retain soil, to control erosion and protect nearby bodies of water from being filled with excess sediments or pollutants.
Does water go through silt fence?
Yes, silt fences are made of a woven synthetic material, usually a woven geotextile fabric. Woven geotextile fabrics are a semi impermeable fabric. They allow water to flow through the material slowly, while trapping sediment.
Can these be installed with Silt Fence Installer Machines?
Yes, Sandbaggy Black Silt Fence Fabric can be easily installed with silt fence installer machines, such as Blue Diamond Silt Fence Installer Attachment.
