Abstract:
1. A barrier formed from filled bags stacked one on top of another and ties having barbed spikes for holding the bags together to strengthen the barrier; wherein each tie has a pair of rigid bag-retention members having an upper and lower face provided with a plurality of barbed spikes, and an elongate connector strap joining the spiked retention members, wherein the connector strap is more flexible than the bag-retention members and the ties are interposed between adjacent rows of filled bags with one face of each of the bag-retention members of a single tie cooperating with one of two adjacent filled bags with the flexible connector strap extending there between while both of the other faces of the pair of bag-retention members of the tie cooperates with a single filled bag in order to limit shifting of the barrier when loaded while enabling limited movement of the filled bags.
