Key Features

This snow fence diagram includes:

  • 10' fence section in elevation
  • 3/8" thick by 1-1/2" wide slats
  • 2-1/4" slat spacing, plus or minus 1/4"
  • Three wire lines tying the slats together
  • Slat and spacing notes printed on the plan

The 2-1/4" gap is what lets wind pass through and drop snow on the downwind side, so hold that tolerance if you swap in a different slat size.

What is a Snow Fence?

A snow fence is a slatted barrier set upwind of a road or driveway, so blowing snow piles up behind it instead of on the surface you need clear. In ArcSite, you can stretch this diagram to your full run and keep the spacing note right on the drawing.
