Definitions in piers & jetties canvas prints

First off, let us examine what a pier is because this is the primary component of this specific category. A pier is essentially a platform extending from a shore over water and supported by piles or pillars, which are used to secure, protect and provide access to ships or boats. You can see the extensiveness of such a structure in piers & jetties canvas prints like the magnificent "Summer View of Nyhavn Pier". This open structure allows the tide and current to flow through relatively undisturbed. Piers are normally made out of wood while their size and complexity may differ. Keep in mind when selecting piers & jetties canvas prints that not only are piers built for several purposes, the term itself may also have different nuances in different parts of the world. In Australia and North America, for instance, the term pier tends to refer to a cargo handling facility. In Europe, however, the term pier is mainly associated with pleasure pier. "Pier in Roslagen, Sweden" is another gorgeous example of a piers & jetties canvas print that showcases this disparity.

Secondary act

A jetty is a long, narrow structure that protects a coastline from the currents and tides, usually made out of wood, earth, stone or concrete. Now this is primarily because currents and tides of an ocean can gradually wash away a beach or other features along the coastline, including residential areas. As you can see in piers & jetties canvas prints, jetties protect the shoreline of a body of water by acting as a barrier against erosion from currents, tides and waves. Once you peruse and gaze upon our array of piers & jetties canvas prints, you will see why jetties are popular tourist attractions and not just because they provide safe access to coastal areas. A beautiful motif such as "Jetty to Paradise" practically can explain itself. This piers & jetties canvas print shows the beauty of the ocean in all its glory while providing a platform where one does not have to get wet to enjoy the splendor.

The difference in piers & jetties canvas prints

While these two terms pier and jetty are often used interchangeably to refer to a structure that projects from the land out into the water, the key difference is that a jetty protects the coastline from the current and tides whereas a pier does not disturb the current or tide due to its open structure. Notice in piers & jetties canvas prints that jetties can change the path of the tide and current, whereas piers allow the tide and current to flow through relatively undisturbed. Have fun going through our array of piers & jetties canvas prints and finding this difference. It will make your selection process more fun and informative.
