Abstract

A roadside fence traps falling stones. The fence has a series of upright posts (1) embedded in the ground (7) at regular intervals and linked by a fence material of heavy-duty non-woven fleece (3). The fleece is attached to the post esp. by a strip of weather and soil-resistant plastic ('geo-plastic').
