Proper installation is completely vital to the structural success of a sediment barrier, as improper placement frequently leads to catastrophic undermining or complete structural collapse during heavy rainfall events. The process begins with digging a trench that is at least six inches deep and six inches wide along the pre-planned contour line where the barrier will sit. The lower edge of the fabric is then placed into this trench, and the excavated soil is compacted tightly over the buried fabric to prevent water from rushing underneath the barrier. Once the bottom is secure, the support stakes are driven deeply into the ground on the downslope side of the fabric, and the material is attached securely to the posts using heavy-duty ties or staples.
