A beach fence can be either designed to direct pedestrian traffic or trap the sand, depending on its size. The fence should be built so that the slats face the dominant wind direction, regardless of whether it is intended to hinder or prevent sand accumulation. The minimum depth for the fence should be at least 4 feet below the surface. The beach fence, regardless of its size or complexity, must be invisible in order to be effective and easy to maintain.
You can choose from a variety of materials for your beach fence, including chestnut palings and brushwood as well as wooden slats and synthetic fabrics. Materials used should have a solid/void ratio of thirty to fifty percent. The type of material you choose will ultimately depend on how long the fence is to be maintained. Fencing is vital for environmental preservation. But, lack of vegetation transplantation and plant life will result in a limited effect over the long-term. In addition to visual intrusion, sand fences will also collect blown-in litter and interfere with amenity use of the beach.
East Hampton Town, Village and Village have taken measures to eliminate sand fencing on their public beaches. Sand fences that extend onto privately owned property are a major source of erosion along the beach. This can be caused by two things: either sea level rise, or creeping fences. Sand fences are not only a barrier to water reaching the beach; they can also cause erosion in surrounding areas.
The basic components of a beach fence are the anchor, float and prevention net. The prevention net is secured by a rope consolidated around the body. The anchor that is attached to the fence's frame holds the float steady. The net is effective in preventing jellyfish inflow and debris from contaminating the swimming area. Floating docks can also be added to the beach fence for mooring boats. Using a beach fence to protect swimming areas has many benefits, including the beautification of the environment.
For example in Japan, bamboo fences protect the Nakatajima desert dunes. They protect the dune area and prevent excess sand drifting. The St. Clair Beach posts, a local landmark in Dunedin, New Zealand, are made from old sandbreaks. These posts can be linked by a perforated or lightweight plastic sheet or a wire fence. The permanent sand border is typically made up of large wooden post or planks laid horizontally.
