Ratings & Reviews for NDS 36-in X 100-ft Sediment Shield

Wrap your drain pipes to keep dirt out

Building a french drain to control water. Wrapping pipes with this fabric helps keep dirt out.

No complaints

Works as intended

Good for some smaller projects

It stops the dirt well, but will tear easily if you put too much strain on it.

So so product

I bought this sediment fabric to go around drainage pipes. I found it to be very thin and tore easily.

Perfect for my job

It was exactly what I needed to line a drainage ditch before adding rocks. It appears to be working as expected.

Looks like an okay filter.

Seems a little thin, but should work as a filter. Hopefully will not get plugged.

Very thin .5 oz but works…

It works and was the only option found at my local Lowe’s for non-woven drain fabric, but I doubled it up because it is very thin. This fabric is about .5 ounces as opposed to what is normally recommended or used - 4 ounces or heavier. It probably won’t last as long and tore much easier, but I was able to get the job done in my backyard.

very thin

We bought this thinking that it would be better quality than general landscaping fabric. Personally, I don't think it's any better than landscaping fabric, just more expensive. I can't recommend this product based on what i've seen so far. I also don't have high hopes for longevity.

Thin Material

It would be great for a temporary application since water passes extremely easy and sand does not pass through. However, you can easily poke a finger through, no effort. I have seen a post stating that this must be replaced after 2-3 years and from the images the man posted it appears to be biodegradable. The price is perfect for the product.

Tears eaily

This fabric is very thin and tears very easily. I would not recomend this product for a french drain system.

Good fabric.

Read the bad reviews. Hard to find a fabric that lets water through easily. We installed over 300ft of pipe and 6 yards of rock. Fabric isn’t tough like the negative reviews said but it’s as tough as it needs to be if you know what you’re doing. Good stuff would recommend. Prep work is important. Leave plenty of slack so you don’t have to tug hard on the fabric and you’ll be golden. Will be ordering more and using them on our jobs.

Durable fabric to filter out silt

Does a good job keeping dirt, mud and sand out of my french drain, which is exactly what it is designed to do.

Worse landscape frabric ever

This is the most rediculace landscape fabric I have ever seen. 1st white? That's rediculace. But when you get it out of the package it is so thin it will NEVER work. It's coming back

Fabric too thin to be effective when installed

This fabric was very thin. I have no idea whether it would screen out silt as needed, but installation results in various tears and gaps because of the thinness. In the end, it can't really help very much. Somehow I was expecting something thicker or more robust to enable effortless installation and long-lasting effectiveness.
