Sand Barrier

[Tracker]

Just got done with a new item that might be useful

I recommend saving two version: one at the default 480 x 600 dimensions an the other at original 575 x 719 dimensions. That way you can make a small and a larger versions of the sand barriers.


Just got ink so I'll post pics with Joes soon.

That is a well done Hesco! If my storylines ever reach the desert that will probably be used :) .

That's pretty cool. I was thinking earlier today on how to make some of these for some of my planned dios. I might still make the actual ones and use your print outs for the skirts. I remember being a young PFC in Bosnia and we got these after we had filled what seemed like a million sand bags. If I recall correctly (history lesson coming up) these were originally designed to help reduce erosion in Britain or Scotland possibly Ireland I don't remember. But they are a hell of a lot better than sand bags for larger areas.

yea i did some research on these after see them on the military channel as i had no idea what there where at first. i found that the hescro had a 101 uses if not more

one thing i did was to make sure the lid and the bottom where separate pieces. i figure that folks could do what your talk about put in actually sand in them.
