Efficient Design for Portability and Quick Installation It's crucial for this device to be portable and easily installed, as it may be situated in remote locations away from roads. The entire design can fit into a compact sack of 16.5" x 7.5" x 66", and installation only requires tightening less than 15 screws following these steps illustrated in picture 6: 1. Choose a safe installation site 2. Remove components from the sack 3. Install anchor 4. Connect posts with corner bolts (http://md-signs.com/posts-and-accessories/corner-bolts-and-nuts.html) 5. Install net holder at desired height 6. Unroll the net and secure with four screws 7. Attach to anchor 8. Connect hose Repairs are equally simple, requiring just four screws to tighten back into place. Cost-Effective Design The design leverages existing traffic sign posts, which have been proven effective in various weather and soil conditions for over half a century. This not only reduces manufacturing costs but also takes advantage of established production processes. Water-Efficient Net The net's Coanda-shaped camp allows efficient water collection. The upper portion helps water adhere and flow down, while the lower steep portion releases water and drips into the water collector. This design prevents vaporization by minimizing opening size, ensuring maximum water retention. First Design Considerations Initially, a beach tent-style design was considered but later changed due to reevaluation against design requirements. Some remnants from this first design may still be present in the uploaded files due to Solidworks pack-and-go tool.
