Silt socks are a sediment-control solution used to filter silt and sediment from stormwater runoff on construction and civil sites. Installed along drains, kerbs and flow paths, they help reduce soil loss, protect waterways and support site erosion and sediment controls. Trade Enviro supplies geotextile silt socks and heavy-duty, rubber-filled reusable silt socks for different site conditions and deployment requirements.

Types of Silt Socks
Trade Enviro supplies geotextile silt socks and heavy-duty rubber-filled reusable silt socks. These are two product formats, not separate names for the same item.
Both are designed to control sediment and protect stormwater systems, but they suit different site conditions, timeframes, and budgets.
Geotextile vs Heavy-Duty Rubber-Filled Silt Socks
| Feature | Geotextile Silt Socks | Heavy-Duty Rubber-Filled Silt Socks |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Geotextile sleeve filled on site | Supplied pre-filled with rubber |
| Deployment | Requires compatible fill material and on-site filling | Ready to position on site |
| Reuse | Depends on the fabric, fill and condition after use | Designed for repeated deployment |
| Typical use | Temporary works where suitable fill is available | Longer-term or repeat deployment |
| Confirm before ordering | Required dimensions, filled weight, flow path, ground conditions and the site sediment-control plan | |
Quick guide:
Geotextile silt socks may suit temporary works where compatible fill is available.
Heavy-duty rubber-filled silt socks may suit repeated deployment or sites where faster positioning and reuse are priorities. Final selection should reflect the site sediment-control plan, flow conditions and required dimensions.
