What happens here

Josh unwinds a roll of silt fencing, which consists of a black plastic-like tarp material with integrated wooden stakes. He positions the fencing along the slope, planning to drive the stakes into the ground to create a barrier. He discovers, however, that the wooden stakes are degraded and break apart when hammered, making the initial fencing unusable. He replaces it with new, functional silt fencing and drives the intact stakes firmly into the ground to form a continuous barrier.

Goal: Install silt fencing to further manage water runoff and sediment at the sloped tree-cutting area.

product we have is called silt fence and basically this is a plastic tarp type material with a stake built into it and we're gonna run across this area that's been washing and slow the silt down and hopefully will stop this flooding issue all together basically I'll lay it out here and it rolled itself back up so that's cool I'll unroll it it's like it's got some kind of sticky material on there to keep it together right now some of you pro landscape guys they're looking at me like I'm crazy so if you have any comments or any suggestions here guys please leave them down there in the comments section teach me for sure or teach us all so the thought process here again is slowing the water down and hopefully the silt will build up against the fence slow this water down and not make this huge washout such a problem we're also going to put some of the erosion sausages out to we're going to put those up a little bit higher and that will slow the water down too so it's all about slowing water
