Why should I use StormWattles instead of
silt fence? There are several reasons:
Aesthetics - In housing developments and other construction
areas where new or potential clients are able to see the site,
StormWattles allow an obstructed view. They are also more
pleasing to the eye than unsightly black fencing that is 2-3'
high.
Silt fence has to be removed - In the final stages of
construction, silt fence is removed. When this is done the
silt, dirt and sediment that has been retained no longer has any
form of containment or control. Ultra-StormWattles can be
left in place even after construction is completed. It
will eventually "mulch-in" with the surrounding environment.
Are StormWattles biodegradable? The
wheat straw is biodegradable. The netting is photodegradable
and will break down with extended exposure to sunlight and UV rays.
