English term or phrase: ricket weir
New islets are often available for groupings of artists or individual settlement. If one can float the bamboo and bring along a fishing pole or two there's no reason a homestead can't be beat up anywhere to begin show the Judges a thing or two about resilience. Small highly individual structures stand on stilts over simple rocks. Here perhaps a traditional "flotty" with its **ricket weir** and old-fashioned translational windows, there a teseracted treehouse redefining the possibilities of gardening for all time.

protezione/diga traballante
Explanation:
weir = diga, sbarramento, protezione

ricket al singolare non esiste, esiste come parola al plurare "Rickets" (med. rachitismo) e forse la parola nel tuo testo è un typo (voluto?..) dell'aggettivo rickety per rendere l'idea di traballante, posticcio, poco resistente

Concise Oxford English Dictionary © 2008 Oxford University Press:
rickety/ˈrɪkəti/

▶adjective 1 poorly made and likely to collapse.
2 suffering from rickets.


p.s. se hai l'impressione che io mi stia addendrando in ipotesi ancora più fantascientifiche del testo, avvisami e smetto subito :-)
