MAKE A CORNER OR CURVING THE WATER-GATE
Water-Gates can be shaped to contain or repel water. Although containing water is more of a challenge,
as there is more seepage.
Use the same method to tie together two Water-Gates of different sizes.
Make sure the two Water-Gates are aligned at the back.
The two Water-Gates are now attached.

Method used to contain water
Not recommended
Back side of the barrier is the determining length when curving the
Water-Gate.The furthest edge of the barrier must always be taken into
consideration to determine the length of the required Water-Gates.
The green dotted line on the photograph shows the required
Water-Gate length. The Water-Gates can be curved to any given
angle, however we recommend curving it in such a way as to divert
the water. When the Water-Gate is curved you must take extra
caution to ensure that water does not seep underneath by ensuring
that the front has no folds that water can get underneath. Use sand
bags or other weighted objects & place them on top of these folds.
Too much water seeping underneath can cause the Water-Gate to slip.

Here are 4 installation methods don’t worry about the deployment
of the Water-Gate, as the pressure from the water will force the
corner to be deployed properly.

SIZE AND WEIGHT OF CRATED WATER-GATES
To purchase crated Water-Gates, there is a cost over and beyond that quoted These extra amounts are
charged for two reasons: 1 - Folding the Water-Gates to be packed in crates required more time for our
employees than packing individual Water-Gates. 2 - The cost of the crate can vary substantially based on your
needs. A crate can be made out of pallet wood, pressure-treated wood panels, painted to your specifications or
even be built from steel and assembled on wheels. It all depends on your requirements.
As an example, the cost can represent 1 to 4% of the purchase price of the barrier when the crate is
made out of wood.

fit the available space in your emergency response unit.
