A snow block erector set comprising:
- (a) a pair of substantially rectangular side walls, each side wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, two side edges, an outside surface and an inside surface, each side edge of said each side wall connecting one end of said top edge of said each side wall to one end of said bottom edge of said each side wall to form a top corner and a bottom corner, respectively, an aperture and lock pair disposed substantially on each said top corner;
- (b) a pair of substantially rectangular end walls, each end wall having two side edges;
- and
- (c) a pair of brace bars, each brace bar having two ends and two retainers, each retainer disposed substantially on one of said two ends of said each brace bar,
- wherein said side walls are configured to be aligned in parallel with their inside surfaces facing one another and each aperture of one of said aperture and lock pairs of one of said side walls is substantially aligned with an aperture of one of said aperture and lock pairs of the other one of said side walls, each end of said each brace bar is configured to be inserted through one of said aligned apertures and removably secured in place with a lock of each said aperture and lock pair deployed against each said retainer such that said side walls are supported upright and said end walls are configured to be disposed within a space defined by said brace bars in a substantially parallel manner to form a rectangular space with said side walls for receiving snow to form a snow block.
A snow block erector set comprising:
- (a) a pair of substantially rectangular side walls, each side wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, two side edges, an outside surface and an inside surface, each side edge of said each side wall connecting one end of said top edge of said each side wall to one end of said bottom edge of said each side wall to form a top corner and a bottom corner, respectively, an aperture and lock pair disposed substantially on each said top corner;
