Beach Fence for Dune Protection

Option 1: Beach fence as dune protection – biodegradable

This option is ideal for temporary protective measures and projects with high environmental standards. The fence is made of biodegradable materials and decomposes naturally over time, leaving no residue in nature. Dismantling or disposal is generally unnecessary.

This design is particularly suitable for nature reserves , renaturation projects , seasonal coastal protection measures and sensitive landscapes where interventions should be reduced to a minimum.

Advantages

• Biodegradable and environmentally friendly

• No microplastics

• Promotes natural dune formation

• Ideal for temporary and ecological projects

Technical details of the biodegradable dune protection fence

Dimensions

• Height: approx. 1.0 m

• Length per unit / roll: approx. 30 m (can be cut to size)

• Weight: approx. 20 kg
  
  

Mounting pockets

• Pocket diameter: approx. 15 cm

• Distance between bags: approx. 1.0 m

Functional benefit

The integrated mounting pockets allow for quick and secure fixing of the beach fence in sand or loose soil. The even spacing of the pockets ensures stable load distribution, improving stability even in windy conditions. Depending on project requirements, the pockets can be fitted with suitable anchors or posts.

Option 2: Beach fence for coastal protection – durable & reusable

The durable design is intended for permanent use in high-traffic or permanently erosion-prone areas. It is characterized by high weather resistance, mechanical stability, and a long service life. The fence can be dismantled and reused if necessary.

Thanks to its high tensile strength, the beach fence is extremely durable and can withstand very high wind loads of up to 180 km/h . This makes it suitable for exposed coastal locations, storm-prone beaches, and areas subject to persistent erosion. The beach fence effectively retains sand at the base of dunes, thus supporting their preservation, stabilization, and natural regeneration .

This variant is particularly suitable for municipal beach management , tourist coastal areas , infrastructure projects , and long-term protection concepts. Additionally, the system is also suitable as a snow fence for snow retention and is successfully used in ski resorts to control snowdrifts and selectively secure piste areas.

Advantages of the long-lasting beach fence

• High stability and long service life

• Reusable and low-maintenance

• Effective protection against wind erosion

• Suitable for permanent coastal protection solutions

Technical details – dimensions & mounting pockets

Material: 100% polyester (fully recyclable)

Weight: 340 g/m²

Height: 1 m or 2 m

Length: 50 m (also suitable for cutting to size)

Distance between bags: approx. 1.0 m

Project-related variants

• Alternative elevations available upon request for specific dune protection concepts.

• Adaptation to local requirements of coastal and nature conservation authorities

• Compatible with different post spacings and mounting systems

Typical applications for both fence types:

• Dune protection and dune building

• Coastal protection and beach management

• Visitor management in sensitive areas

• Protection of vegetation and breeding areas

• Environmental, landscape and infrastructure construction

Brief summary of the dune fence

Whether biodegradable for temporary, nature-based measures or durable for long-term protection concepts – the beach fence as dune protection offers a flexible, effective and proven solution for the sustainable protection of dunes and coastal landscapes.
