Hello, I would like to build a wind fence but don’t know what the black material is called.
I see companies in construction using it for various applications.

It’s not filter cloth and I don’t think it’s poly
It’s about 3-4 feet wide, black and comes in a roll...and it’s shiny (I think)

Anybody know what it’s called?

Thx Joe

Sometimes you can get silt fence with wood posts attached. Just pound the first post in. unroll and pound in the next post as you get to it. Places that sell erosion control products to earthmoving contractors have it.

Joe, Home Hardware carries it but Home Depot and Lowe’s likely do also. Easy to use when the posts are already attached or you can buy it by the roll.

There's a guy on here who uses Aluminet shade cloth as his material, says it lasts many years

Thank you very much! It almost time to take the greenhouse down and let the plant fly on its own.

Thank again for the info ☀️

Unless your mind is made up, maybe try safety/snow fencing.
Silt fence is fine at erosion control, but in my past experience dog shit as a wind barrier.
