What Is Snowfence?

The convergence of heavy snow, high winds and bitter cold make Wyoming’s highways difficult to navigate, to say the least. Lucky for us, Wyoming has millions of feet of snowfence across the state to control the blowing snow during our five-month winters.

Built to mimic the mountain face, these 9 to 13-foot-tall structures dot the landscape along Wyoming’s roads, baring the brunt of the harshest winds. Snowfences disrupt wind flow and cause snow particles to drop out of the blowing snow. Instead of spreading across the road and obstructing the vision of fast-moving travelers, snowdrifts are put in their place, downwind from the fence.

Naturally dried by the Wyoming wind, Centennial Woods is totally natural and may remain so during second use. To learn more or request a sample, click here.
