Abstract:
1. A kit of components for assembly into a bio-retention basin enclosure system, comprising: a. a plurality of prefabricated vertical wall segments, each of the plurality of wall segments including a horizontal top end that defines a notch, an opposite horizontal and substantially flat bottom end, a first vertical edge, a second opposite vertical edge, a front vertical surface and an opposite back vertical surface, each of the plurality of prefabricated vertical wall segments defining at least a first smooth T-shaped bore and a second smooth T-shaped bore, the first T-shaped bore opening to the first vertical edge, the front vertical surface and the back vertical surface, the second T-shaped bore opening to the second vertical edge, the front vertical surface and the back vertical surface, each of the first T-shaped bore and the second T-shaped bore configured to receive a connecting dowel therein; and b. a plurality of slidable connecting dowels, each having dimensions complimentary to the T-shaped bores defined by the plurality of prefabricated vertical wall segments so as to be configured to hold each of the plurality of prefabricated vertical wall segments in alignment with at least one adjacent prefabricated wall segment of the plurality of prefabricated vertical wall segments, wherein the plurality of prefabricated vertical wall segments and the plurality of connecting dowels are configured to form a bio-retention basin enclosure by coupling the prefabricated vertical wall segments to each other with the plurality of connecting dowels.
