High Wind: The Water-Gate can be installed, even in high wind
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Water-Gate 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-Gate folded and add a sufcient
number of sandbags or weights to keep it tight against the ground.
When the ood water arrives, ensure the Water-Gate 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-Gate in place, then the netting could be removed.
