FAQ
What height of protection can the Water-Gate offer?
Water-Gates are available in 6in, 14in, 20in, 26.5in, 32in, 39in, 50in & 60in heights.
What lengths do they come in?
Water-Gates are available in 30ft & 50ft lengths, each of which includes velcro on
each end, so that multiple units can be connected together for unlimited lengths.
How do you deploy the Water-Gate?
Depending on the size, they will either be rolled or folded. Smaller units are rolled &
bagged & you simply lay it in place & then unroll it. The larger sizes may come pre-
connected, folded & in crates that can be loaded on the back of a truck & deployed as
1 person drives & 2 people feed the unit out onto the ground with another 2 people
on the ground to maneuver it. Minimal labor is needed.
If the ood water is contaminated, do we have to throw out the
Water-Gate?
No, the material is PVC coated & is easy to clean. Simply let the ood water recede &
wash it down according to the contaminants, let it dry & then fold or roll Water-Gate
back up for storage.
Can I bend the Water-Gate around a corner?
Yes, the Water-Gate is exible & conforms to all types of surfaces. You can create
inward & outward corners, curves, straight lines & connect multiple units together for
unlimited lengths.
Do you offer anything to prevent theft?
For an additional fee, we do offer to imprint information on each unit; name or logo,
as well as the ability to chain the unit up to something nearby.
Can the Water-Gates be used in waterways?
There is a different version that includes a back ap that prevents erosion, should the
water continue to ow & go over the top. Ideal for environmental projects, as they don't
alter the environment & they are very quick to deploy. Please contact for more information
What happens if water goes over the top?
It can happen if the water gets too high, but it will maintain it's height & continue to
hold back all of the water already within the Water-Gate. A secondary back up may
be necessary to create multiple dams to monitor the level of water or a higher unit is
required.
What happens if fragments in and on the water smash against the
Water-Gate barrier?
The Water-Gate water barrier has the amazing ability to hold back all fragments in
the water due to its great exibility. If one or more large objects are being projected
at high speed against the barrier, be it from a parallel, sideways or perpendicular
angle, the barrier will act like a spring. The object being thrust against the barrier will
automatically be pushed away from the barrier with little risk of damaging it. If there
are fragments oating on the water, they will fold down the top of the barrier as they
hit it, go over it and end up at the back of it. Should the barrier get hit very hard by a
oating object, it could tear at the top. However, we are condent that it would hold
out until the ood was contained.
