High Wind: The Water Force can be installed, even in high wind
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Water Force can be kept on the ground in very strong wind, however, some additional precautions do
have to be taken. To minimize the effect of gusting wind, keep the Water Force folded and add a sufcient
number of sandbags or weights to keep it tight against the ground.
When the ood water arrives, ensure the Water Force is properly deployed, by pushing off any ballast
weights that are in the way. The barrier can be unfolded and will automatically deploy.
If weights or sandbags are not available, staking down a porous fabric like a netting could be used. Water
will pass through & begin to anchor the Water Force in place, then the netting could be removed.
CALCULATION OF INSTALLATION TIME
Units in a crate will be deployed at a nice rolling/walking speed
to pull the Water Force out & lay on the ground.
If units need to turn a corner- fully deploy out the units in straight
line & then create the corner once on the ground.
For speed of joining units, 2 people is
preferred. One to pull & add tension,
while the other attaches & smooths
out the velcro from back to front
each time.
Larger single units are provided
wrapped in an outer sleeve with
carrying straps & should be kept for
both storage & deployment.
