Windbreak Fences

This style of windbreak works best for protection of feedlots where cold wind is the major weather problem and snow is relatively light. Research has shown that a porous windbreak allows some wind to filter through, providing better downwind protection than a solid windbreak of the same height. A windbreak with 20% porosity provides some wind protection as far as 12 times the fence height downwind, and very good shelter to about 6 fence-heights downwind.
