Frank, for what it's worth, most of our clients up here in the north country have gone to 'living' snow fences.

Usually a white (swamp) cedar hedge planted in the appropriate location. By the linear foot it's hard to beat it on a cost basis and it looks good all year.

It's different for a homeowner, but in our case time is money, labour is often the most expensive part of anything. You plant a hedge once and it's set for quite a while, annual pruning is way faster than maintenance on a traditional fence usually is and a hedge offers both birds and animals shelter in harsh weather.

BTW, the only way we've had any luck with plastic snow fence is by running a few strands of that blue & white nylon twine along behind it at various heights. It takes the load instead of the fence itself.

Best of luck.
