Does anyone use plastic square mesh barrier snow fence? I am thinking of trying it and want opinions on it's use.
Just off my driveway on the county road is a quarter of farm ground that the crops are always cut short or there is wheat on it during winter. For the second time in 2 weeks a 200 yard length of the road was drifted over with 2-3+ foot drifts which took me 21/2 hours to plow a passable road through after work last night. It is several days before the county gets to our road after a snow storm or I would not worry about it.
Getting permission to put up a temporary fence form my neighbor would not be a problem. My granddad has some 50+ year old wooden snow fence but there is not enough to cover the distance and it needs some repair work. State dot policy is to set fence up away from the road 35 X the height of the fence. Unfortunately they don't use snow fence anywhere around here to see what their using or how it works.
