Traditional Wood Slat Snow Fence Manufacturer

Snow Fence Manufacturers

A leading manufacturer in the industry, Kalinich Fence has been producing traditional wood slat snow fence for nearly 100 years. Constructed from aspen and spruce wood lath and woven together with 13-gauge galvanized wire, our snow fence withstands the elements. Traditional snow fencing is most commonly used to prevent snow from drifting onto highways and airport runways where drifting snow can pose a threat to safety, and snow removal can be very expensive and inefficient. By installing these fences along roads and runways, snow removal efforts become more efficient, allowing travel to flow much more smoothly and safely. And, its sturdy construction makes Kalinich natural snow fence a durable and economical alternative to plastic snow fence. Traditional snow fencing also is widely used in farming and other agricultural settings to aid in water collection and retention. (see Farm/Agriculture page).

A Simple Concept

How snow fencing works is really pretty simple. A properly constructed snow fence will cause snow to drift down wind of it. An eddy will form behind the fence whenever the wind passes over it, causing a rolling wind current that flows downward and to the back side of the fence. This formation will cause fast and slow places to develop in the wind which makes a drift form in front of the fence on the windward side. A well designed snow fence can both prevent snow from drifting where it is not wanted and retain snow where it is desired.
