METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING FENCES AND WINDBREAKS FROM USED TIRES

METHODE DE CONSTRUCTION DE CLOTURES ET DE BRISE-VENT AVEC DES PNEUS USAGES

English Abstract

A method of constructing an animal fence using vehicular tires is
described. Firstly, level the surface where required. Secondly, lay a
row of tires flat on the ground, leaving a space between each tire.
Then, place a row of tires, straddling the tires of the first row, and
lying on top. Continue until the desired height is reached. With this
method, a fence can be constructed very rapidly, and comparatively
inexpensively.

Claims

Using scrap tires for above ground structures is a completely new invention
which the
industry accepts as fences and windbreaks.
These designed scrap tire fences and windbreaks are practical, value added and
is a
viable operation. The building of these fences and corrals using scrap tires
are simple.
Most every province in Canada has these scrap tire fences and windbreaks.
These fences
and windbreaks made of scrap tires are very durable and long lasting and
virtually
indestructible. These scrap tire fences are very humane as no sharp barbs,
etc.
These scrap tire fence and windbreaks are environmentally safe and friendly
and are
approved by the Department of Environment.
Further using scrap tires for these fences and windbreaks does not require the
cutting
down of trees for fences and windbreak material.

TITLE OF THE INVENTION:
Method of Constructing Fences and Windbreaks From Used Tires.
S
NAIL OF INVENTOR:
Paul Steffanson
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a method of constructing fences arid
windbreaks.
1S
B~A6F~6R0~1NH OF THE INVSNTIAN
There is a need in farming communities for a cost-effective manner
of constructing fences, windbreaks, and the like. At the same time,
there is a surplus of used tires for which there is no adequate means of
disposal.
2S STJt~IARY OF THE INVENTION:
What is required is a method of constructing fences and windbreaks
from used tires.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of
constructing fences and windbreaks from used tires: Tires are laid on
the ground with the side wall meeting the earth. Each tire is spaced
apart. This will allow for wind to move through the structure without
damage to the fence or windbreak. the second row of fires will rest on
3S the edge of the first tire, allowing a space in-between. With this space

in-between the tires, no bolting or securing each tire to the adjacent
tire is necessary. Refer to Figure 1.
An actual test fence has been in place for three months in which
different animals were successfully contained.
It was observed that the emission from the tires repels all flies;
deer flies, black flies, horse flies, etc. (An entomologist also
agreed.) The animals came to the fence for relief wheiieve~ the flies
were a nuisance.
Figure 2 shows the top view. These structures have only two
purposes: The main one is to hold farm animals securely; and the second
is to reduce the wind velocity where necessary.
The tnatelial is virtually indestructible and will last indefinitely.
Figure 3 is a photograph of a fence.
A structure, as described above, can be rapidly and economically
constructed: Some movement of the tires may be desirable in order to
prevent injuries to animals.
BRIEF DESCRIPI"ION OF THE DRA(nTINGS

from the following description in which reference is made to the appended
drawings, wherein:
