Tree Protection and Silt Fence Guidelines

This document provides instructions for installing a tree protection fence around areas where trees need to be protected during construction activities. The summary is: 1) Steel posts or wood stakes should be installed around the tree protection area at intervals of no more than 8 feet. 2) 12-gauge galvanized wire or plastic/wire ties should be used to connect the posts and install 12-gauge wire fencing between the posts at a minimum height of 3 feet. 3) Signs warning construction workers not to enter the protected area should be attached to the fence.
