This Pop Up Inlet Protection Prevents Sediment Infiltration While Protecting Field Grates

Constructed with high-quality materials that last, Dandy Pop® fully encloses the field grate, eliminating sediment infiltration. Its innovative construction allows suspended solids to settle out of the slowed flow and be captured prior to entering the grate inlet. Plus, installing Dandy Pop is fast and easy: It simply pops up!

Once you use Dandy Pop in your stormwater pollution control plan, you’ll never go back to cumbersome silt fencing or other devices that fall over or have infiltration points.
