Depending on its design and size, beach fences can either direct pedestrian traffic (or trap it) or both. No matter whether the fence is meant to stop or hinder sand aggregation, the slats must be placed in a direction that is perpendicular the dominant wind. The minimum depth of the fence should be no more than four feet below sand surface. No matter how large the fence is, it must be discreet and easy to see.
A beach fence material can be made of chestnut palings or brushwood, wood slats or synthetic fabrics. The solid/void ratio should be between 30 and 50 percent. The length of the fence and its required lifespan will determine the material that is used. Although fencing is important for environmental preservation, a lack of plant life and vegetation transplantation will have limited long-term effects. Sand fences will not only be a visual intrusion but will also collect trash and make it difficult for beach users to enjoy the amenity.
East Hampton Town's Village has taken a hardline against the use of sand barriers on public beaches. Sand fences that extend onto private property can cause erosion. This erosion can occur in two ways: from sea-level rise and from creeping or permanent sand walls. Aside from the fact that sand fences block water from reaching the beach, these fences can also lead to erosion in other areas of the town.
There are three basic components to the beach fence: the anchor, float and the prevention net. The prevention net is secured by a rope consolidated around the body. An anchor attaches to the fence's body holds the float in place. This net prevents jellyfish inflow from the pool and other debris from entering. You can also add floating docks to the beach fence to moor boats. Protecting swimming areas with a beach barrier has many benefits. It can also beautify the surrounding environment.
For example in Japan, bamboo fences protect the Nakatajima desert dunes. They prevent excessive sand from drifting and maintain the dune area. St. Clair Beach markers, a landmark in Dunedin New Zealand, are made out of old sandbreaks. These posts can be connected with a perforated, lightweight plastic sheet, or a wire fence. The permanent sand border is typically made up of large wooden post or planks laid horizontally.
