Abstract
A tubular mesh enclosure (1040) formed from a mesh material having a nominal opening size of less than 0.5 inches. The mesh enclosure has opposing pair of ends (1042, 1044) with at least one end (1044) being sealed. A filling (1010) is surrounded by the tubular mesh enclosure with the enclosure defining a length and a generally non-circular longitudinal cross-section defining a major width. A ratio of the length to the width greater than approximately 40.
Claims172
A system comprising:
- a first tubular mesh enclosure formed from a mesh material having a nominal opening size of less than 0.5 inches, said first tubular mesh enclosure having a first opposing pair of ends, at least one of said first opposing pair of ends sealed;
- and
- a filling surrounded by said first tubular mesh enclosure;
- a second tubular mesh enclosure attached to said first tubular mesh enclosure;
- said system defining a first length and a first generally non-circular longitudinal cross-section defining a first major width, a first ratio of said first length to said first major width greater than approximately 40.
