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



1. 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.

2. Cut the heavy wire into lengths for ties. Attach the snow fence to the outside of the posts with wire ties using pliers.
Materials

  • four wooden or metal posts, 4-5 feet long (use pressure-treated lumber for the wooden posts.)


  • Heavy wire for ties


  • a 13-foot length of snow fencing, at least 3 feet tall (a 16-foot length with optional top)


  • Tools

  • heavy-duty wire or tin snips


  • pliers


  • sledge hammer


  • work gloves



3. Attach the ends of the snow fence together in the same way, forming a 3-foot-square enclosure.
