What is the difference between silt fences and coir logs?

Silt fences are ideal for flat or gently sloped areas where sediment runoff needs to be filtered and retained. Coir logs, on the other hand, are better for steeper slopes and waterways where physical barriers are needed to slow water velocity.

Why choose silt fences for longer coverage?

They’re quicker to install and cost-effective for covering long site perimeters.

What other erosion control products can I use along with a silt fence?

Silt fencing solutions are most effective when combined with other erosion control products and used as a system. The best matches are coir mesh and jute mesh, which can be used for surface coverage to minimise erosion, while fences can filter any excess runoff.

Are silt fences eco-friendly like coir products?

No, they are made from synthetic materials like polypropylene and UV stabilisers. Therefore, these can be reused and last longer.

Silt fences are a fabric barrier that traps sediment runoff from your site while letting water pass through. They are made from UV-stabilised polypropylene fabric and suit well for outdoor areas with strong sunlight. Silt fences are great alternatives for traditional hay bale barriers used by Australian landscapers. The product has an average lifespan of 6-12 months.

We offer silt fabric rolls in various lengths like 50m, 100m, and 500m, with a standard height of 87cm and 100 GSM thickness. Choose from the two colours we offer: green for standard applications and high-visibility orange for projects that need enhanced safety.

They are also used to stabilise soil in entrances, driveways, and exits and keep them clean. They help you prevent fines, meet local council compliance, and preserve surrounding waterbodies.

HEIGER’s Silt Fences are highly effective for erosion and sediment control for various types of projects. They are commonly used around construction perimeters and slopes with disturbed soils.

At HEIGER, we offer various sizes of silt fences to suit your needs.

Available Sizes & Specifications

85cm x 50m ( 100 GSM )

85cm x 100m( 100 GSM )

85cm x 500m( 100 GSM )

The 85cm x 500m roll is ideal for large-scale projects such as roadworks, subdivision developments, and infrastructure builds. It minimises the need for frequent joins and saves time during installation. The 85cm x 50m and 100m rolls are perfect for smaller to medium-sized job sites, including residential landscaping works.

Choose from our two colours of silt fence rolls. The high-visibility orange variant is designed to be easily seen and used to indicate areas that should not be entered.

These fences can be installed either using star picket posts or wooden pegs and tie wire.

How Silt Fences Work

The silt fence is installed facing its filter side towards the direction of water flow. The permeable weave traps the sediment from runoff water while letting clean water pass through. This method helps in preventing pooling and flooding.

When installed properly along the slope contour or site perimeter, they slow down surface water runoff. This allows sediment and silt to settle before the water continues its flow. Landscapers follow a method called the J-hook structure to get the best results here.

For an in-depth guide about the J-hooks method, check out our blog about How to Install Silt Fences in the Right Way.

Key Applications

Construction Site Perimeter Control

Used around the boundary of construction sites to trap sediment and prevent runoff from polluting nearby areas. Also used to set zones for accidents and danger.

Roadworks and Excavation Sites

Controls erosion and captures displaced soil around roads, trenches, and excavation zones.

Slopes and Embankments

Placed at the base of slopes to filter sediment from water before it leaves the site.

Agriculture and Nursery Operations

Prevents soil washout near farms or garden beds during heavy rain.

Driveways and Entrances

Can be laid on loose soil and covered with gravel to act as a sub-base. Holds the soil in place and prevents it from shifting or washing away.
