Definitions

  • the material is more readily worked and reduces risk of injury to the hands.
  • the material permits for the variation of the height of the structure.
  • an apparatus or barrier device for impeding the flow of the moveable sand or silt comprises disposing vertical supports in space relationship to each other and running generally perpendicular to the direction of movement of the sand or silt which it is intended to impede. Strips of material are then interwoven between the posts. The overall height of the wattle strips may be lower than the height of the support or posts, but after sand or silt have been deposited in front of the lower part of the structure, the strips may be shifted upward to permit further quantities of sand r 3,426,536 Patented Feb. 11, 1969 or silt to be deposited. When the whole structure has served its purpose, the flexible strips may be removed and reused at a different point.
  • a wire mesh made of perpendicular and horizontal wires may also be used which may be conveniently coated with a corrosion resistant material.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a structure which has been produced in accordance with the method of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an alternative embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a section of a perforated strip.
  • the posts 1 are first driven in, then the strips 3 and 4, made of plastics material, are plaited between the posts. Only two such strips are shown but several strips may also be used if required.
  • the lowermost strip 3, in FIG. 2, has retained deposits 5 of sand or silt and in accordance with the invention the strips 4 and 3 may be moved upward, such movement being indicated by the broken lines in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 An alternative embodiment is shown in which a fence constructed in accordance with the invention has a wire mesh serving as support for the strips.
  • This mesh comprises perpendicular wires 6, the upper ends of which are bent into loops 7, so that they extend in the manner of a throw in ribbon weaving.
  • the continuous horizontal wires are designated by 8 and the plastics material strips 9 are interwoven between the loops of this wire mesh.
  • a strip 10 is shown (FIG. 4) which has holes 11 formed therein...before assemblage of the fence if it is necessary to permit the structure to let wind through.
  • Sand trapping fences made of plastics material strips in accordance with the method of the invention may be produced in a far shorter time than trapping fences made of pine brushwood mats. During a period of storm tides occurring in quick succession it is possible for the fences to be quickly assembled and dismantled.
  • a barrier device for impeding the movement of moving sand and silt and accumulating sand and silt comprising in combination:
  • each of said strips includes a plurality of lengthwise spaced holes.
