-Silt sock diameter can vary upon the site and application of the practice, but must be at least 8 inches tall during use. They should be installed in a crescent shape, parallel to the contour of the land, with the ends placed upslope of the center to prevent water from escaping around the ends of the practice.+Silt sock diameter can vary upon the site and application of the practice. They should be installed in a crescent shape, parallel to the contour of the land, with the ends placed up-slope of the center to prevent water from escaping around the ends of the practice.
  
 They are not recommended for use on slopes that exceed a 2:1 ratio, but may be used in series on flatter slopes if the spacing guidelines below are followed. They are not recommended for use on slopes that exceed a 2:1 ratio, but may be used in series on flatter slopes if the spacing guidelines below are followed.
