c-f only gives you less room to dump the Shit No One Wants when you're shoveling, so I'd go for b-e. Then again, we here in the mountains don't do wind or snow fences, so planting big ass trees on c and f would be best to keep the drive way free of snow. Or build a car port.

1. Move to Hawai'i.

2. Stop caring about snow fences.

This has to be the worst connect the dots I've ever seen. I’ve connected all the letters and all I get is a big "Z". The last connect the dots I did turned out to be a teddy bear so by comparison this is one really sucks. j'king

I would say b to e or just move to Califoria where you don't have to worry about it.

Me, the best I got was a 5-letter word... D-E-C-A-F.

Get the shovel out and work, ya lazy bum!

If the snow fence is perpendicular to the direction of wind, it'll jut eventually blow over the top. You want to use the fence t deflect the wind and additional snow away from the driveway. The only way to ensure that the snow doesn't hit the driveway is to have the fence block off as close to the corner of the house as is possible. This would keep wind vortices from kicking up snow around the corner of the house and onto the driveway. It also allows for some overlap past the corner to prevent snow from "sneaking around" the fence so to speak.

That's my theory, anyways.

That's backwards though. The snow fence works by creating a low pressure zone on the back side of it, so the snow is left in the low pressure zone.

The house itself will create low pressure at the driveway by C because of the wind direction, so the snow needs to be removed from the air before it gets there. Any solution involving C or F will just dump extra snow on the driveway.

Man, that's a gold star explanation Doc.

That theory works for shoveling snow also, I always put my snow on the downwind side of my sidewalk and push the snow 6 or 8 feet across the lawn and start a pile on the windward side. (I'm not a sailor, is that right? windward) I'd rather shovel a little extra on nice days than continually dig through hard drifts to get out to the street every time the wind blows. Of course there's always a chance of getting a storm from the other direction, then it's time to dig out the snow blower.

Here's the real life place I used for my diagram, if this guy wasn't such an ahole I'd stop and explain to him what's going to happen when we get our first good storm. I'll post an update when that happens.

ok, my bad. I'm originally from BC, so what can I say, I dunno what snow fencing is.

You don't have to discuss your criminal record online unless you want to.

Hopefully OP will be back to sort this out.

Bump

So what happened?

[Guy_Fawkes]

Im guessing tons of snow on the driveway.

Pretty dry out there this year so maybe nothing?
Thought we'd get a mid winter report with pictures.
