Abstract
Disclosed is a removable erosion-control and fencing (“REAF”) system for shoreline preservation along a line defined by a plurality of posts. An exemplary REAF system comprises first and second post clamp pairs mounted to adjacent posts. Each post clamp pair “sandwiches” a post and is fixedly attached to the post by virtue of fasteners that lock one half of the post clamp pair to its other half. In this way, the post clamp pair “hugs” the post and is secured thereon without having to be permanently fixed to the post or damaging the structural rigidity of the post. Each post clamp pair includes a substantially vertical wall slot such that one or more cross-members may be received into the walls slots to form a wall section in a space defined between the adjacent posts.

A system for shoreline preservation along a line defined by a plurality of posts, the system comprising:
- first and second post clamp pairs, each comprised of a left post clamp half and a right post clamp half, wherein:
- the first post clamp pair is mounted to a first post and the second post clamp pair is mounted to a second post;
- the first and second posts are adjacent such that the right post clamp half of the first post clamp pair faces the left post clamp half of the second post clamp pair;
- each post clamp pair is fixed in position relative to its respective post by a center cavity profile having at least one flat aspect;
- and
- each of the right post clamp half of the first post clamp pair and the left post clamp half of the second post clamp pair comprise a substantially vertical wall slot;
- a plurality of cross-members received into the walls slots such that a wall section is formed in a space defined between the first and second posts;
- and
- a vertical housing unit received into the wall slots and comprising a plurality of substratum members for preventing erosion beneath a first cross-member.
A system for shoreline preservation along a line defined by a plurality of posts, the system comprising:
- first and second post sleeves, wherein:
- the first post sleeve is mounted around a first post and the second post sleeve is mounted around a second post;
- the first and second posts are adjacent such that the right side of the first post sleeve faces the left side of the second post sleeve;
- each post sleeve is fixed in position relative to its respective post by a center cavity profile having at least one flat aspect;
- and
- each of the right side of the first post sleeve and the left side of the second post sleeve comprise a substantially vertical wall slot;
- a plurality of cross-members received into the walls slots such that a wall section is formed in a space defined between the first and second posts;
- and
- a vertical housing unit received into the wall slots and comprising a plurality of substratum members for preventing erosion beneath a first cross-member.
