Snow-Fence Holding Unit
A snow-fence holding unit is simple to make. It works best with four posts pounded into the ground for support.
Building a Snow-Fence Holding Unit
- Choose a 3-foot-square site for your holding unit and pound the four wooden or metal posts into the ground 3 feet apart at the corners of the square.
- Cut the heavy wire into lengths for ties. Attach the snow fence to the outside of the posts with wire ties using pliers.
- Attach the ends of the snow fence together in the same way, forming a 3-foot-square enclosure.
