Snow fences can be beneficial anywhere you want to reduce snow buildup, collect water, or reduce wind speed on your property, and they are easy to install. You can find everything you need at Sears to install a snow fence, from the fencing itself, to the tools you need to install it. Snow fences reduce the need for expensive snow removal services, reduce the need for pavement maintenance, and can make your property safer by increasing visibility.

When you are ready to install your snow fence, you'll need to determine the most common direction of the wind, average snowfall for your area, and the proper distance from any roadway. You will also need to evaluate how much fencing you will need in order to protect your farm, garden, or home adequately from the snow.

Planning your fence will be your next step. Use a spade or posthole digger to install your fence posts about one-third of their full height. The posts themselves should be about eight feet apart in order to support the snow fence properly. Once the fence posts have been placed in the holes, you can refill the holes and compact the dirt so that the posts are anchored.

You will need to use fence ties to secure the snow fence to the fence posts. You should also add support wires to add further reinforcement at each end post. Without support wire your snow fence may eventually sag, reducing its efficiency and creating excessive wear and tear.

A reliable, well-built snow fence can keep snow off your property or help it drift where you do want it, for water collection purposes, for example. Planning your fence is essential to installing your fence properly. A snow fence is a proven, affordable safety and snow control system that you can install yourself with tools and materials you can find at any Sears location.
