The frame includes an upper portion including a rail for grabbing by a user's hand; and a lower portion connected to the at least one of the deck and the hull. The lower portion and the upper portion are connected to one another. The pliable sheet wall is stretched across at least a portion of the frame so as to extend between the upper and lower portions of the frame. A barrier structure is also contemplated.
