Constructed of economical silt fabrics and hardwood stakes, spaced every 10 ft, 11 stakes per 100 ft of fabric. Erosion and sediment control material, helps protect environment. Contains sediment, topsoil and other organic material while allowing water to flow through. 125 pounds Grab tensile, 15% grab elongation, 347 psi Mullen burst, 60 pounds Puncture, 80 pounds trapezoidal tear, 80% SR UV resistance, 30 gal/min squared permittivity (1 sec). 

Silt fences are a temporary barrier of geotextile fabric used to retain erosion of silt and other sediment from polluting nearby streams, rivers, drains, and sensitive environments. Sediment such as sand, silt, and clay are considered as pollutants in storm water runoff systems. Silt fences act as a vertical permeable interceptor for areas exposed to sediment-laden waters.

It is important to distinguish that silt fences are not known to be used as erosion control devices, but are used for sediment control.
