Complete 50m Silt Fence Kit For Erosion Control
(Please get in touch if you require a different length silt fence).
This handy silt fence kit contains everything you need to erect a 50m silt fence:
- 30 off x 1.5m long Waratahs
- 1 x Pack of plastic safety caps (100 per pack)
- 1 Pack of silt fence butterfly clips (250 per pack)
- 1 x Roll of high quality silt fence fabric (100m long x 1m high)
- 1 x Coil of galvanised wire (300m long)
- 2 x Wire strainers / tensioners
- 1 x Pack of 200mm cable ties (100 off)
Applications of Silt Fences:
Ideal for short-term civil engineering and domestic projects requiring erosion control. Install as an entrenched vertical barrier to flank exposed soils or border construction perimeters, trapping harmful silt through settlement and filtration.
For longer term and more robust projects possibly consider erecting a Super Silt Fence instead.
Key Requirements for Silt Fences (based on NZ guidelines):
- Material: Woven 100-micron geotextile fabric is required; do not use shade cloth.
- Depth: Dig a trench 200mm deep by 100mm wide, place the fabric in it, and backfill with soil.
- Support: Use waratahs (posts) driven at least 400mm deep, placed on the downhill side.
- Height: The fence should stand 600mm above ground level.
- Positioning: Install on the downhill side of disturbed areas, with ends angled 2m up the slope to prevent water bypassing the fence.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect and remove accumulated sediment, and move as construction progresses.
Differences Between a Silt Fence & Super Silt Fence:
Silt fences are temporary sediment barriers using single-layer, geotextile fabric on wooden / steel stakes for low-flow, small catchments. In contrast, Super Silt Fences are robust, high-strength, double-layer fabric systems reinforced with wire mesh or multiple fence wires and steel posts, designed for steeper slopes and higher-volume, larger-catchment runoff.
If you have a truck or large trailer and you'd like to collect, we can offer pick-up from several locations around NZ - please see our FAQ page for details.
Reinforcing / Mesh / Merchant Bar & Engineering Steel Deliveries
Unless we provided you with a specific date, all steel products will usually ship out within 2-3 business days. All reinforcing bars or steel sections that need to be cut into shorter lengths or cut & bent might only be shipped within 3-5 days to allow for the factory to process your order, depending on the current workload.
Fencing, Waratahs & Barriers
Fencing / barrier products will usually ship out within 1-2 business days.
All our fencing / barriers deliveries are usually made via flat deck / curtain-side truck to our Customers' business or construction site. If you prefer offloading by hand, the truck will need to be offloaded within 15 mins. For larger orders our Customers need to provide a forklift / crane / digger / manitou to offload at site - alternatively please contact us if Hiab truck delivery is required.
Portaloo Hire
Due to their weight (almost 100kg) and difficulty to carry, all our portaloos will be delivered right next to the truck onto the ground via a tail lift. Please ensure that there is sufficient room for a truck to stop where you need the portaloo to be delivered.

Q: How does shipping work?
A: Once you place your order it will ship out within 1-2 business days (cut & bent reinforcing will usually ship in 3-5 days). For large orders that are delivered by truck, we will communicate with you to find a suitable time that someone is available to receive the delivery. The driver will also give you a call when they are on the way with your delivery.
Delivery rates will be shown at check-out (please note these delivery rates apply to addresses within 40km from Metro centres). If you have received an error message during check-out, please fill in our GET A QUOTE form for a custom delivery quote.
Q: Where are you located - can I pick my order up somewhere?
A: Due to the size and weight of our products, most of our Customers prefer delivery to their construction site, business or home address. If you have a truck or trailer and you'd like to collect, we can offer pick-up from several locations around NZ - please see our FAQ page for details.
All pick-ups are processed via Click & Collect and must be paid for in advance so the warehouse can prepare your order. You’ll be notified when it’s ready (usually within a few hours) and issued with a reference number for collection. Please do not go to the warehouse without your reference number - they will not have your order ready for pick-up.
If you prefer to pick-up your order, please fill in our GET A QUOTE form and we'll send you a draft invoice for payment via e-mail.
Please note that your preferred item(s) might not always be available at your closest location - please check availability with our friendly team first if you intend to pick up.
Most of our products are heavy and bulky and often require forklifts, cranes or other lifting gear to load onto your vehicle / truck / trailer. We have witnessed many Customers arrive with uncertified vehicles, trailers that are too small, incorrect lifting and tie-down gear and also witnessed numerous safety incidents. Please ensure you have the correct size (certified) vehicle and tie down gear for your order to be safely loaded. If in doubt please reach out to our friendly team.
Q: Which payment options do you offer?
A: For most of our orders we will usually generate a draft invoice and e-mail it to you for payment via internet banking (this is the faster option). At this stage we don't operate on accounts or credit. We can also assist with credit card payments, but unfortunately this takes 3-4 days for the funds to clear (we use Shop Payments as our credit card processor). Please Contact Us to request a quote / draft invoice for payment via internet banking.
Q: I have issues with shipping rates at checkout, how can I get a delivery quote?
A: This usually means your address is located outside the areas that we normally deliver to. Flick us a quick message via Live Chat for a delivery quote or fill in our GET A QUOTE form to request a delivery quote.
