Has anyone here ever erected a temporary re-usable deck perimeter debris barrier at ground level?
I'm in the research phase where I'm asking for suggestions to explore.
A walk up and down all the aisles in Home Depot brought up these ideas upon first inspection.
Therefore, I'm asking for ideas from those who have erected temporary dirt-control low-barrier fences around the perimeter of their in-ground pools.
I need to erect a temporary winter dust and debris barrier of about two hundred linear feet around the ground-level poured concrete deck.
There are not many trees around but plenty of farms and fields which have seemingly infinite amounts of dust & detritus that blows around, seemingly for miles into my pool.
The deck is concrete at ground level and there is no pool cover.
One idea is to plant low growing almost no maintenance rosemary or lavender bushes, but that's my wife's job and she already told me to just put up a fence instead as it could be removed for the summer season.
In the past I erected a temporary four foot high fence during the upcoming dusty rainy windy season but it always blew over in the high gusts and I don't want a permanent fence set in concrete posts around the pool (the entire property is already permanently fenced in and gated for pool safety).
I'm thinking of buying and cutting to size long wood or plastic slats of about four to ten inches or maybe a landscape barrier sock of about a hundred feet by 3 or 4 inches filled with sand or low-lying bushy but light plants that don't require maintenance but which can be removed at the end of each season perhaps?
I could cut the slats at about six inches and pound them into the ground about two inches deep for a four-inch tall barrier - but is that enough?
The taller the barrier, the more expensive and worse, the harder it would be to step over every day.
I'm asking for ideas, keeping in mind it's temporary and if I can re-use them each year, that will cut down on the costs.
About two hundred linear feet is needed for the concrete perimeter as the wind can come from any direction.

- six to ten inch tall temporary wooden or plastic slats?
- three or four inch diameter hundred feet long portable drainage socks?
- ten inch tall low maintenence rosemary or lavender bushes? (removed in summer)
