How To Determine Required Length
1. Select height of protection needed
a. Heightcanvarybasedonlandscaping-hills,
 slopes,&waterowconcerns
b. Take into consideration lowest point of
property line as water will gravitate here
2. Review chart below for distance required for
placementofWater-Gate
3. Walk a clear path around perimeter to review any
obstructions
a. Increase length as needed to avoid any
obstructions or creating corners
4. Measure red line distance to determine overall
length. (see image on previous page)
a. Connecting edge joints need to be at least
5ft (1.5m) away from corners
Remember to Use Water Pumps:
Any water collecting between the building and the
Water-Gate needs to be evacuated by pumps.
Things that can affect the quantity of water
behind the barriers are:
• Seepage rate of the barrier when full,
approximately 0.5-0.7gpm / ft (inside edge)
• Unpredictable volumes of rain
• Review gutter drainage & plan accordingly
• Factors affecting the layout of the terrain. ie:
gravity, slopes, hills, etc.
Standard walking measuring tool
is recommended.
