The challenge
A practical alternative to sandbags for a retail entrance
The store’s concern
As a small retail business in Charleston, Kimberly wanted an entrance barrier for storms and flooding that would be more practical for the store than relying on sandbags.
The opening
The measured opening was 107 inches wide, with a requested barrier height of 15.75 inches. A custom-fit aluminum system was prepared for the store entrance.
The practical goal
The removable design gives the store a way to deploy the barrier when needed and keep the entrance unobstructed during regular business hours.
A custom-fit aluminum barrier for the shop entrance
Eudore supplied a removable aluminum flood barrier for the store’s 107-inch-wide entrance and requested 15.75-inch protection height. The panels fit into the system’s side channels to create a deployable barrier across the opening.
Designed around the opening
The custom sizing was based on the supplied opening width and requested barrier height. For a similar project, the clear opening, mounting surface, side-channel arrangement and installation instructions should be reviewed together before ordering.
Kimberly described installation as fairly easy and said the product felt substantial.

Customer feedback
Kimberly’s five-star review
What the customer said
“Exactly what we were looking for. As a small retail store in Charleston SC we wanted a flood barrier for storms and flooding that was better then sand bags. This took a while to ship but that was expected. Installation was fairly easy and the product is substantial and looks like it will do the job. Fortunately, we havent put it to the test yet. This company is also quick to respond with questions concerns and other issues you may have along the way.”
