A beach fence can be either designed to direct pedestrian traffic or trap the sand, depending on its size. No matter whether the fence is meant to stop or hinder sand aggregation, the slats must be placed in a direction that is perpendicular the dominant wind. The minimum fence depth should not be less than four feet below the sand. No matter how large the fence is, it must be discreet and easy to see.
Material for a beach fencing can be made out of wood slats, chestnut palings, and brushwood. Materials used should have a solid/void percentage of 30-50 percent. Ultimately, the type of material chosen will depend on the length of the frontage and the required life of the fence. While fencing is essential for environmental preservation, it will not have long-term benefits if there is no vegetation transplantation or plant life. In addition to visual intrusion, sand fences will also collect blown-in litter and interfere with amenity use of the beach.
East Hampton Town and Village have taken steps against sand fences at their public beaches. Sand fences that extend onto private property can cause erosion. This erosion can occur in two ways: from sea-level rise and from creeping or permanent sand walls. These fences, in addition to blocking water from reaching beaches, can also cause erosion elsewhere in the town.
The basic components of a beach fence are the anchor, float and prevention net. A rope around the body secures the prevention net. The anchor attached to the fence body holds the floating object in place. This net works well to prevent jellyfish inflow and debris contaminating the swimming areas. For mooring boats, floating docks can be attached to the beach fencing. The beautification of the area and the protection of swimming areas can all be benefited by using a beach fence.
For example, in Japan, bamboo barricade barriers have been installed to protect the Nakatajima dunes. They protect the dune area and prevent excess sand drifting. The St. Clair Beach posts, a local landmark in Dunedin, New Zealand, are made from old sandbreaks. These posts can be connected with a perforated, lightweight plastic sheet, or a wire fence. The permanent sand fence is generally made up of large wooden poles or large wooden planks horizontally across them.
