First: Meet Our Flood Barriers

Before we get into the accessories, we wanted to give you a brief overview of our flood barrier systems. They are a five bag polypropylene flood barrier system. A single system measures 15 feet in length, by 36 inches wide, and 40 inches high. A single person can carry, place, and deploy the system in a few minutes. The system boasts a 10 mil impermeable water-side coupled with the best UV protection available.

Flood Control Products

Wooden U-Frame

The wooden u-frame is ideal when you need to make 90º turns. It is also ideal for replacements on used systems. These wood u-frames are head-treated as well.


Spreader Bar

Crane assisted high strength reinforced steel lifting apparatus. Easily lift filled flood barrier systems into hard to reach places. Great for storing flood barriers to be re-used time and time again. The BBSB1 model comes in standard red, white, and blue. The BBSB2 Spreader Bar can be custom colored to match your company colors.


How It Works


  1. First, deploy the extender bars.
  2. Next, attach the Spreader bar to your preferred lift.
  3. Then, connect your bags by simply placing the loops over the lift bars.
  4. Ready for lift-off; place your bags safely and securely in place.
