Measures for stabilizing the sand dunes

a. By using bamboos
b. Evenly spaced wooden slats

An artificial barrier of evenly spaced wooden slats or synthetic

fabric erected perpendicular to the prevailing wind and supported
by posts. Sand fences are usually made commercially of light
wooden slats wired together with spaces between the slats. The
distance between slats is approximately equal to the slat width
(about 1 1/2 inches). Synthetic fencing fabric is available for this
use. The fences are erected 2 to 4 feet high in parallel rows spaced
30 to 40 feet apart over the area to be protected. Fences are
supported by wooden or metal posts.
c. High Tensile Plastic Sand Fence

 Most plastic fences are made from black or orange

polyethylene.
 Plastic fencing has high tensile strength, but it can be cut
and is susceptible to abrasion.
 Fence must be well secured to posts.
 Fencing should be tensioned to the manufacturer's
specification.
 End posts must be adequately braced to allow tensioning
of the fence.

3. Major concern Availability of the Bamboos locally is a concern
manufacturing facilities in near by

This is also cheaper however; Any plastic item is costly; hence we can
4. Cost If material available, it can be cheap;
fabrication cost is involved expect this to be costlier.

5. Eco friendliness Eco friendly Eco friendly Recycling is required
