Abstract:
A wave barrier, comprising:a flexible wall sheet having first and second faces, top and bottom edges, and a pair of end edges extending between said top and bottom edges of said wall sheet;a plurality of spaced apart elongate poles being coupled to said first face of said wall sheet, said poles each having upper and lower ends and a longitudinal axis extending between said upper and lower ends of the respective pole;said lower ends of said poles being outwardly extended from said bottom edge of said wall sheet;a flexible ground sheet having proximal and distal edges and a pair of side edges extending between said proximal and distal edges of said ground sheet;said proximal edge of said ground sheet being coupled to said second face of said wall sheet along said bottom edge of said wall sheets;wherein a first of said poles is positioned along a first of said end edges of said wall sheet, and a second of said poles is positioned along a second of said end edges of said sheet, wherein a first adjacent pole is positioned adjacent to said first pole and a second adjacent pole is positioned adjacent to said second pole; andwherein said poles divide said wall sheet into a plurality of rectangular panels, wherein a width of said ground sheet extends between said first adjacent pole and said second adjacent pole such that said panels located closest to said end edges of said wall sheet are foldable inward towards said side edges of said ground sheet for protecting said ground sheet from waves lapping around said end edges of said wall sheet.
