SedimentSTOP is easy to transport, fabricate and install, all of which saves you significant time and money compared to alternatives.

The short, lightweight packaged rolls are easily transported over difficult terrain and to remote areas, while the longer, 50-foot finished length reduces the number of overlaps.

SedimentSTOP is easily field fabricated for greater flexibility to specific site requirements. For instance, the finished roll diameter can also be increased, if necessary, by simply adding other materials such as grass clippings, pine needles, straw, or leaves.

SedimentSTOP is extremely flexible and readily conforms to the ground surface, minimizing undercutting. The structurally sound net-reinforced layers prevent failures - even if the outer netting wrap is damaged during or after installation.

Here’s How It Is Done:

Step 1

Dig a 3" deep x 9" wide anchor trench along the contour of the slope or across the swale.

Step 2

Position the SedimentSTOP® packaged roll perpendicular to the trench so the double-netted portion covers the anchor trench and extends downslope one foot beyond the anchor trench. (This forms the Splash Apron™.) Unroll to cover the trench.

Step 3

Secure SedimentSTOP material into the anchor trench with a row of staples, and then secure the downslope edge of the Splash Apron with another row of staples 12" apart.

Step 4

Roll the remaining SedimentSTOP material from the upslope edge into the anchor trench. (If a thicker roll is needed, simply add organic materials across the product width prior to rolling.)

Step 5

Once the product has been rolled up, secure it to the soil surface using wooden stakes 3' on center.
