Uses:

Sediment Fence is a polypropylene material - one roll measures 3' high by 100' in length with wooden 2x2" stakes pocketed and stapled every 6' o.c..

Narrative:

Sediment Fence provides temporary protection to slopes and project perimeter containment. It is installed in a trench where a minimum of 6" of the bottom of the polypropylene material is buried. Material should be installed on contour to avoid concentrated or low impact to the fence that may lead to potential failure. Sediment is contained/trapped at the fence allowing water stagnate and pass. Wire mesh can be added to the fence where 'supported' fence is required. It is our opinion that sediment fence should remain unsupported as the idea to support and make structural against large movements of soils is not the intended use.
