Snow Fence

Snow fence is available with wood lathe inserts and in various plastics. Snow fence installs quickly and rolls back up allowing it to be stored during off season.

The theory behind snow fence is really pretty simple. A properly designed and built snow fence will cause snow to drift down wind of it. An eddy will form behind the fence line whenever the wind passes over it, causing a rolling wind current that flows downward and to the back side of the fence. This formation will cause fast and slow places to develop in the wind which makes a drift form in front of the fence on the windward side. A well designed snow fence can both prevent snow from drifting where it is not wanted and retain snow where it is desired.

Snow fence may also be used most places a temporary or portable fence may be used: construction site fencing, crowd control fencing, and farm fences.
