Abstract: A cellular reinforcing structure (1) for preventing soil erosion includes a plurality of lattice type sheets (5) of plastics material having longitudinal members (9) joined by transverse members (8) which define openings (13). The sheets (5) are bent to form first and second locations (11,12), and the first locations (11) of each sheet (5) engage first locations (11) of the adjacent sheet (5) on one side thereof, and the second locations (12) of each sheet (5) engage the second locations (12) of an adjacent sheet (5) on the other side thereof. The sheets (5) inter-engage at their first and second locations to define retaining bores (14), and retaining bars (15) are inserted through the retaining bores (14) for retaining the first and second locations of the respective sheets inter-engaged with each other.
