Perforated Metal Snow Fence
Blowing and drifting snow creates serious problems on highways, railways, etc. We have designed and manufactured many styles of snow fences to help minimize the amount of snowdrift on roadside and greenbelts. All our snow fences are customized according to the wind speed, wind pressure, geological conditions, climate conditions, etc. at your project site. Choose a style of snow control barrier below, or contact us directly for a customized snow barrier. Snow fence provides the most effective way to prevent and control the blowing snow disasters. Our snow fences are metal fencing custom designed according to the wind speed, wind pressure, geological conditions, climate conditions, etc. at your project site
HeslyFence designs efficient snow fence systems according to customer working conditions. We will choose the appropriate material (plastic or metal), then the location and height of the snow shield can be designed according to specific site circumstances.
Principle of snow control
Travelers through snowy areas are faced with a number of driver safety issues, included reduced visibility. The installation of a snow fence reduces those risks, as it blocks blowing snow from impacting driver views.
- Wind is forced to go around and through the snow fence, losing speed and energy.
- Suspended snow particles drop out as wind speed decreases, forming drifts in front of and behind the fence.
- Very little snow reaches the road, keeping lanes open and increasing visibility.
Ideally the fence should be set back from the shoulder a distance that 35 times the height of the fence. Placing the fence too close to the roadway can make drifting problems worse
