Low-profile snake barrier

A barrier section of a low-profile snake barrier, comprising:

• a screen-type material supported by a first support brace at a first end and a second support brace at a second end opposite the first end, the first and second support braces supporting the screen-type material in a collapsed configuration and an erect configuration, the erect configuration comprising a base portion of the screen-type material, an upright portion of the screen-type material extending upward from the base portion, an overhang portion of the screen-type material extending from the upright portion, and a skirt portion of the screen-type material extending from the overhang portion, and wherein in the collapsed configuration the base portion, the upright portion, the overhang portion, and the skirt portion are disposed parallel to the ground;
• and
• wherein each of the first and second support braces comprises a base member pivotably coupled to a vertical member, an overhang support member pivotably coupled to the vertical member, and a skirt support member pivotably coupled to the overhang support member and wherein pivoting the vertical member with respect to the base member and pivoting the overhang support member with respect to the vertical member and the skirt support member with respect to the overhang support member facilitates transformation from the collapsed configuration to the erect configuration.

A low-profile snake barrier, comprising:

• a first barrier section coupled to a second barrier section;
• each barrier section comprising a screen-type material supported by a first support brace at a first end of the barrier section and supported by a second support brace at a second end of the barrier section opposite the first end, the first and second support braces supporting the screen-type material in a collapsed configuration and an erect configuration, the erect configuration comprising an upright portion of the screen-type material extending upward from the ground and an overhang portion of the screen-type material extending from the upright portion and wherein in the collapsed configuration the upright portion and the overhang portion are parallel to the ground;
• an angular abutment bracket coupling the first support brace of the first barrier section with the second support brace of the second barrier section at an angle;
• and
• wherein each of the first and second support braces comprises a first member and a second member, the first member comprising a first pair of holed-tabs and the second member comprising a second pair of holed-tabs, the first member being pivotably coupled to the second member via a rod received through the first and second pairs of holed-tabs and pivoting the first member with respect to the second member facilitates transformation from the collapsed configuration to the erect configuration.
