How the Snow Fence Works
The Resinet snow fence works by decreasing wind speed as it passes through the mesh openings. This reduction in velocity causes the wind to drop the snow it carries on the leeward side of the fence, creating a controlled snowdrift. The fence acts as both a snow trap and a wind barrier, helping to maintain clear, safe zones for roads, walkways, and structures.
Planning Your Installation
For maximum efficiency, the snow fence should be installed approximately 65 feet upwind from the area you wish to keep clear of snow. Proper placement ensures the fence will effectively manage snow deposition and prevent drifting into critical areas.
Materials Needed:
- Resinet Heavy Duty Snow Fence
- Wooden or metal posts (wooden posts recommended for flexibility)
- Plastic ties, nails, or metal staples
- Plastic cable (optional, for extra reinforcement)
- Post driver or digging tools
Step-by-Step Layout Instructions:
- Mark the fence line approximately 65 feet from the area to be protected.
- Install wooden posts in a zigzag pattern for enhanced stability.
- Posts should be buried one-third of their height into the ground and spaced no more than 8 feet apart.
- Attach the snow fence to the upwind side of the posts to allow the wind to press it against the structure for added support.
- Secure the fence to the posts with nails or ties, ensuring at least three nails per post to prevent slipping.
Installing the Fence Netting
To install the netting, slightly raise it off the ground to improve performance. Stretch the fence taut and attach it to wooden posts using nails or staples, or to metal posts using plastic ties spaced 1 foot apart. For added security, weave a plastic cable through the top and bottom edges of the fence. This will provide additional stability in areas prone to high winds.
Connecting Fence Sections
When extending the fence, overlap adjoining sections by at least 6 feet. Secure the overlapping areas with ties or cables to ensure a strong connection. This technique also prevents gaps, ensuring consistent wind resistance and snow control.
Wooden Posts and Height Guidelines
Wooden posts are preferred due to their flexibility, which helps absorb and dissipate wind force. Avoid using metal posts, as they may compromise the structural integrity of the fence over time. For best results, place the snow fence approximately 12 feet upwind from the desired snowdrift area.
The height of the snow fence plays a crucial role in determining where the snowdrift will form. Begin installation at a minimum height of 5 feet above the ground. Raising the fence higher will cause the snowdrift to form further downwind, but avoid exceeding 2 feet of clearance from the ground. Installing the fence directly on the ground is not recommended, as it may become buried in heavy snowdrifts, reducing its effectiveness.
Maintenance and Seasonal Storage
The Resinet snow fence is designed for long-term durability, but regular maintenance will ensure optimal performance. Check the fence periodically for any signs of wear, such as tears or loose ties, and make repairs as needed. At the end of the season, remove the fence, clean it, and store it in a dry location to preserve its quality for future use. The lightweight design makes it easy to transport and store, ensuring hassle-free management year after year. Beyond snow control, the Resinet snow fence can be used as a temporary windbreak or to prevent soil erosion in construction sites and agricultural settings. Its versatility and ease of installation make it a practical solution for various applications in both residential and commercial environments.
