BCP Silt Fence – Temporary Sediment Control for Construction & Landscaping

Reliable Erosion Control That Protects Job Sites and the Environment

BCP Silt Fence is a high-performance sediment barrier designed to prevent soil erosion and control runoff on construction sites, landscaping projects, and areas with disturbed soil. It helps keep silt and debris on-site, protecting surrounding stormwater systems, water bodies, and infrastructure from contamination and sedimentation.

Made from woven polypropylene geotextile fabric and supported by durable hardwood stakes, BCP Silt Fence is quick to deploy, effective under varying site conditions, and compliant with most local and state regulations.

Whether you're working on new development, grading, or landscaping, this is your go-to solution for effective perimeter control and environmental compliance.

Professional Installation Guidelines for Optimal Performance

To achieve the best performance from BCP Silt Fench, follow these step-by-step installation guidelines:

Site Preparation:
✔ Identify slope direction and water runoff flow paths
✔ Clear the area of debris, rocks, and vegetation
✔ Grade the site to ensure proper water flow toward the fence line

Fench Placement:
✔ Unroll the silt fence along the perimeter or downslope edge of the disturbed area
✔ Position the bottom of the fabric into a trench at least 6" deep
✔ Drive stakes into the ground at 36" intervals to hold the fence upright

Securing & Final Checks:
✔ Backfill the trench over the base of the fabric and compact the soil
✔ Overlap adjoining fence sections by at least 6" and secure with staples or ties
✔ Inspect regularly and after heavy rains to ensure integrity and sediment collection

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does a silt fence last?

BCP Silt Fence is UV-stabilized and built to last up to 12 months depending on sun exposure, weather, and site conditions.

Is this fence reusable?

While it is designed for temporary use, undamaged sections may be reused for short-term or low-impact projects.

Does it meet municipal or DOT requirements?

Yes. BCP Silt Fence is compliant with standard erosion control specifications used by DOTs and local building authorities.

How deep should the fence be buried?

At least 6 inches of the fabric should be trenched and backfilled to prevent sediment bypass underneath.

Can it be used on slopes?

Absolutely. It's ideal for use along the base of slopes or contours to capture runoff and sediment.
