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.

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
