Do the Snow Fences Actually Work?
What is Snow Fence?
A Snow fence helps in blocking the wind that causes the snow to pile on the area that you wish to protect. From a line of trees or bushes to the plastic fence to slat wood fence, anything can serve the purpose of a snow fence.
Snow Fence Basics
The objective of a snow fence is to redirect the snow from forming snowdrifts at a particular area or road rather than stopping the snow altogether. A snow fence, when installed properly, helps to cause the snowdrift to pile up on the downwind side instead of piling on the road or your driveway. As a result, the roads and roadways become safer due to reduced drifting and blowing on the road. Also, you will not need to plow as much.
A snow fence is placed to create a pressure differential, which makes the wind to drop the snow on the side of lower pressure that is right behind the fence. The height and structure of the fence, as well as wind speed, are some factors that determine the exact spot for the snow piling.
Where the Snow Fence should be placed?
The snow fence must be installed in the upwind of the space that you need to be clear. For example, if the wind blows from north and west in a certain city and their driveways run from north to south. Then you must place a snow fence parallel to the driveway towards the west. The placement of a snow fence is very critical, as you do not want the snow piling up in undesired spots. You must also leave a gap of around 5 inches beneath the snow fence. As a higher mounted snow fence will allow the snow to drift farther away. Also, if the snow is heavy it may bury the fence which can reduce its effectiveness.
Do Snow Fences Work?
Coming to the actual part whether the snow fence work or not. They most certainly do. However, as already mentioned there are many factors, which influence its effectiveness. Such as from the height of the fence to its placement to the direction and speed of the wind. For that matter, it is probably the best idea to leave its design and installation to the experts.
