How it works
The tube is rolled out in the area to be protected, then filled using a standard garden hose. The weight of the water creates a strong temporary barrier that conforms to uneven surfaces. Multiple tubes can be connected to extend the protection line. After use, they are drained, dried, rolled up and stored.
