Why Choose Wooden Snow Fence?
Advantages of Snow Fences
Wooden snow fences offer many advantages. Snow fencing is traditionally used to prevent snow from drifting onto residential and commercial driveways, highways, walkways, or even airport runways. Drifting snow can gather quickly and be both dangerous and costly to remove. Purchasing a wooden snow fence can greatly reduce winter property-maintenance costs and drastically improve safety.
Another advantage of wooden snow fences is that they are easy to install and remove. This lets you use them seasonally or temporarily to create safe walkways and paths. You can use our wooden snow fences during any season for construction fencing, to create a temporary wooden fenced walkway, for beach fencing, or many other uses.
How Snow Fencing Works
The science behind snow fencing is quite simple. A well-constructed snow fence like ours causes snow to drift downwind. An eddy forms behind the fence as wind passes over it, reducing overall wind speed. Snow drifting past a snow fence gets caught in the eddies it creates, and as the air slows, it drops some of the snow just beyond it. Eventually, large mounds of snow accumulate downwind of a snow fence.
If a wooden snow fence is located upwind of a road or runway, the snow collects around the fence and doesn't blow onto the road. Ideally, the fence should be set about 35 times its height from the road.
Versatility
You can use wooden snow fences for many things other than just controlling the snow. Here are just a couple of ideas for other applications of our wooden snow fencing:
