The Snow Fence Price Survey Data is maintained to assist in making rough price estimates for projects, vCalc performs periodic pricing surveys of nationally advertised commodities, in this case, insulation. The pricing came from the website of the Store at the Date specified. This is for rough calculating convenience and local pricing should ALWAYS be used. The Snow Fence Pricing Survey Data information is as follows:

- Snow Fence Pricing in U.S. dollars per unit:
- 4' x 50' Plastic Snow Fence Price: $29.95
- 4' x 100' Plastic Snow Fence Price: $33.99
- 4' x 50' Wood Snow Fence Price: $79.99

The Snow Fence Calculator have function to compute the number of rolls of snow fence and the number of posts needed. They also includes estimated cost of materials for both rolls (plastic and wood) and T Posts. The Snow Fence Calculator functions are:
- Snow Fence Rolls Calculator: This compute the number of rolls of snow fence are needed for a fence line. It includes a cost estimate for the total number of snow fence rolls needed.
- T Posts for Fence Line: This computes the number of T Posts needed for a snow fence. It includes a cost estimate.
The most common snow fences
are either wood with slats or plastic with large regular holes. In both cases, the wind needs to go through the fence or it will act as a sail and the fence will be more prone to be blown over due to horizontal stress. Since there is less horizontal stress, snow fence can be erected using T Posts. T Posts are made of steel, while one or two are easily carried, several can be too heavy to carry.
T Post Weight:
- 66" (5'6") Post = 7 pounds
- 72" (6') Post = 7.5 pounds
- 84" (7') Post = 8.75 pounds
- 96" (8') Post = 10 pounds
T Posts are easy to drive into soft (not frozen) ground using a post driver. Post drivers are a great investment if one is driving T Posts or U-channel posts in the ground. Post drivers do less damage to the posts, create fewer sharp edges, drive the posts MUCH QUICKER that even a sledge hammer and they are less likely to injure you.
A wood snow fence can be heavy too. A 50' x 4' wood snow fence roll can weigh up to 80 pounds.
