For initial installation and to attach support posts to either side of the opening to be protected, have a hammer drill ready to drill the necessary holes for the expanding mounting bolts.
When installing planks in advance of a flood, use our included Allen wrench to tighten down planks and to secure the upper locking plate.

The Eudore aluminum flood barrier is manufactured using high quality extruded 6063 T-5 Aluminum planks and posts and casted fitting. Hardware is made from stainless steel. Components are designed to be durable as well as weather and rust resistant.

The lower Eudore flood plank has rubber EPDM seal, which creates a strong seal with the ground below. Some consideration should be given to uneven ground surfaces as the plank is inflexible and while there is some flexibility to the EPDM seal, the ground should be patched and relatively level to achieve a good seal off.
In situations where there are pavers in sand, gravel, or dirt as a subsurface, it is important to add a concrete footer underneath the Eudore bottom rail to ensure a good seal.
This footer should extend across the entire width of the barrier, including the U-Channel Posts.
The footer should be positioned right up against your structure, to ensure a good connection and seal off. If the footer is being placed between two property walls, make sure that it is positioned to abut these walls to create a secure seal.

The Eudore aluminum flood barrier can handle floods up to 63in, with each plank measuring just under 8” in height.
Order barriers with the number of planks you need to achieve the protection height you need for your specific scenario. Standard recommended size is 5 planks or 3.28ft.

Allow about an hour to install the posts permanently to either side of your opening and to insert the flood logs for the first installation. Installation of planks happens in minutes, with a few extra minutes to tighten down each plank and the top clamp.

The Eudore flood barrier can be extended using center posts for additional support.
We recommend planks up to 200in for lower heights (3.28ft or 5 planks) and generally suggest using center posts for lengths longer than that.
Depending on the height of the barrier being installed, we may recommend an additional support buttress against the center post, or positioned at the middle of the planks.

Depending on your specific scenario, you can install the posts either on the inside or the outside of the opening to be protected. We tend to prefer outside installations, as the wall behind the post offers additional support, but if your wall is durable, there is no problem installing the panels inside the opening, using our expanding anchoring bolts.
Note that the inside mounting method will narrow the opening slightly (about 4 inches on either side) and as such may not be as well suited for narrow doorways. Whichever mounting method you choose, confirm that the planks will clear any hinges, molding, or door hardware.

Yes. The Eudore center post can be made removable by using drop in anchor bolts. See our instructions HERE to learn how to make your center posts removeable.

Yes – we offer 90 degree turn sections that allow you to make a turn. This is ideal when using Eudore to protect an entire perimeter.

Eudore posts need to be installed on a flat and durable surface, so that a good seal is created between the wall and the post. When installing posts, we suggest installing them against brick, cinderblock, or concrete walls, as the planks will experience tremendous hydrostatic pressure as flood waters rise.

You can hose down or pressure wash the planks after use, making sure to clear away any stuck on debris. Be careful not to disturb the damage the rubber seals if using a pressure washer.
Standard household cleaners can be used to clean stubborn dirt.
Stack sections after they are completely dry.

Typically, posts are permanently attached to the opening once installed. Prior to installation of the planks, we recommend checking the bolts are secure and the post is seals well to the wall.
Installing the Eudore flood log system permanently, ensures that a good seal is created, as we recommend that you apply silicon to the sides of the installed posts to enhance the seal.
It is possible to install posts using standard drop in masonry anchors, which allow for removable center posts but we generally do not recommend this method for standard post mounting.

Yes, the Eudore posts are removeable, however we recommend keeping them in place for the most optimal seal for your flood protection.

Yes. Eudore flood barriers can be painted to match the color of your structure. We recommend removing the internal seals from the posts before painting and ensuring that the tightening bolts and the bracket inside the flood barrier posts and the remains free to move and tighten when needed for a flood.

We recommend inspecting the Eudore posts and planks on a bi-annual basis to guarantee integrity of materials and rubber seals, however there is typically no regular maintenance required.
