  • Does not restrict opening in a flood.
  • Can be installed at the time the basin is set.
  • No trenching or backfilling.
  • No landscaping repairs needed upon removal.
  • Re-usable.
  • No assembly required.
  • Foolproof installation, simply tuck fabric under grate.

Patented Design That Works

In Use - Side View

Patented design requires no digging, simply tuck the skirt under the grate and replace grate. Can be installed at the time the basin is set. It will not get in the way of backfilling, grading, or seeding because the sediment cage rests on the concrete apron surrounding the grate and is not attached to the ground. Heavy welded framework can withstand multiple uses. The design is protected under Patent US D 555,759, with other patents pending.

Sediment Cage Installation

  1. Raise the grate on one side and position Sediment Cage so the skirt is under the grate.
  2. Lower grate.
  3. Pick up the opposite side of the grate and slip the skirt under the grate on the remaining 3 sides.
  4. Replace Grate.

This method makes a positive seal. It is impossible for the water to get under or around the Sediment Cage. There is no chance of inadequate backfill or compaction issues. Set it and forget it. Removal is just as simple, and does not require tools, restoration work, or debris to haul away. Lift the grate and slide out the geotextile skirt. Take it to the next job.

All the Advantages of Wireback In Inlet Protection

Supports the geotextile better than the 2x4’s and silt fence method

The heavy welded wire framework not only is strong enough to support 2 men, its wire mesh construction gives superior support to the geotextile on the sides too. SedCatch brings all of the advantages of wireback to inlet protection.


Still working after 2 years in the field.

Job Site Abuse — Still Working After 2 Years

This 2 year old Sediment Cage™ has taken a beating. A dozer has pushed dirt against it and it has been backed into. You can see from the accumulated sediment that it is still working.

Fabric Specification

We have selected the geotextile with the properties that give the best results under most circumstances. If your site is unique and/or if the engineer or inspector has a preference for a different geotextile specification, we can manufacture the sediment basket with the requested fabric. We probably have the geotextile in stock and can accommodate your request with a two week lead time.

FAQ for SedCatch® Sediment Cage™

Should I use a Sediment Cage or Sediment Basket?
Use a Sediment Cage unless there could be an issue with it causing an obstruction. They have higher sediment removal rates and generally require less maintenance.

When should a Sediment Cage™  be installed?
The best time to install a Sediment Cage™ is at the time the basin is set. It will keep sediment out, thereby keeping the job in compliance. Since it rests on the apron, you don’t even have to wait to backfill.

How do you install a Sediment Cage™?
Lift the grate, tuck the geotextile skirt under the grate, replace the grate. Takes minutes.

Will it get in the way of final grading?
No, since it does not require stakes, final grading can be done with the Sediment Cage in place.

Can a Sediment Cage™ be removed without requiring landscaping repairs?
Yes, simply lift the grate and remove Sediment Cage™. It does not require a pick, hammer, or shovel, and you don’t have any trash to dispose of. Remove and store for re-use.

Is a Sediment Cage™ reusable?
The heavy monofilament geotextile is so strong and well supported by the wire that they are often used on several different jobs.
