Mutual Industries Silt Fence 24" x 100' - Woven Geotextile with Wood Stakes, Economy Erosion Control

Mutual Industries 24" x 100' contractor-grade silt fence is a durable, economy erosion-control barrier designed to trap sediment and protect downstream areas at construction and landscaping sites.

This 24-inch by 100-foot roll of silt fence pairs woven geotextile fabric with 1½" x 1½" nominal wood stakes spaced on 10-foot centers to create an affordable perimeter control solution. Built for temporary site protection, it’s commonly used across jobsites, housing developments, roadwork and landscape renovation projects to reduce sediment runoff while grading and earthwork are underway. The economy construction suits crews who need effective, no-frills erosion control that is fast to install and easy to remove when work is finished.

How does this silt fence slow sediment during grading?

The woven fabric creates a physical barrier that traps soil particles while allowing water to flow through, reducing turbid runoff into storm drains and adjacent properties. Wood stakes hold the fence upright in varied ground conditions and the 10-foot typical spacing keeps the fabric taut and effective under moderate flow.

• 24" high woven geotextile fabric captures sediment while draining water
• 1½" x 1½" nominal wood stakes provide stable, temporary support
• 10-foot center spacing balances strength and installation speed
• 100' roll length covers common perimeter runs without many connections

How simple is installation and removal on a typical site?

Installation is straightforward for site crews: unroll the fence, drive stakes at specified intervals, and attach the fabric to the stakes. Once grading or seeding is complete, the fence can be removed and disposed of or replaced as needed without heavy equipment.

• Unroll and stake at 10-foot intervals for recommended performance
• Cut fabric and stake lengths to fit corners and drainage features
• No specialized tools required—hand tools and standard post drivers suffice
• Easy removal reduces project cleanup time and labor costs

What site conditions and projects are best for this product?

This economy silt fence is suitable for short- to medium-term erosion control on flat to moderately sloped sites where stormwater flows are typical for construction and landscaping activities. It performs well for perimeter control, small detention areas, and temporary sediment traps, but very steep slopes or concentrated high-velocity flows require heavier-duty measures.

• Recommended for construction perimeters, lot lines and landscape projects
• Effective on low- to moderate-slope areas during earthwork
• Ideal where temporary, cost-conscious erosion control is needed
• Not intended as sole protection for severe, high-flow channels

Who is this for? Contractors, landscapers, municipal crews and site supervisors who need a budget-friendly, contractor-grade silt fence to meet basic erosion-control requirements will find this product practical. It’s aimed at projects that require quick deployment, reliable sediment capture for the duration of active construction, and straightforward removal when work concludes. For long-term or high-stress erosion control, consider reinforced or heavy-duty alternatives tailored to those conditions.
