Thread: Need some feedback!

  1. #1

    ASAP Need some feedback! ASAP



    I just recently had a horrible kennel accident on my other yard and lost some real work horses. So my yard gets finished in the winter.

    I just bought this place. I have put up about 200 ft of privacy fence and have about 600 more to go.
    I have had enough of of this damn weather.
    I need some feedback as to how I can create a 4 ft high vision impairment around the outside of my treeline .
    The only thing I can come up with is to put up a snow fence combined with a landscape mesh that will prevent people from seeing into my yard ONLY UNTIL I can get a break in the weather and continue fencing in about 2 acres total.
    I will be able to use stakes and a ton of trees to secure it to. Any and all ideas are welcome...

    YIS,
    Eric

    I have fenced in the southwest side going into the big field. I am going 200 feet past the treeline into the field, 240 ft diagonally to avoid the irrigation sprinkler then along the back and east of the treeline to the road. Need some feedback and some suggestions other than wait till spring like everyone else says...LoL
    My main concern is around the outside of the trees. I have a couple highways nearby that I would like to obstruct passersby traffic from noticing a bunch of setups. Weather permitting I will just fence it all. But for the immediate I need a quick fix.



    What are the negatives people have dealt with moving a yard in the winter?

    Came up with a potential solution. 3 ft silt fence. Predominantly used on construction sites to contain debris or control water flow. All I am trying to accomplish is concealment but will now get the added benefit of of a wind block/vision impairment at $25 bucks for 100 ft three feet high. We shall see I guess. Seems way to easy of remedy.

    Also got eighteen 1X2's to attach the fence to the trees with deck screws I will reuse on the fence later.

    The silt fence should work well for this. And the cost is reasonable plus it is usually black and not bright orange which can draw attention. It should work to get you by until you can finish the big fence. I also will be glad when winter is over!

    One thought on using deck screws or nails on the trees, unless you remove them later, those could cause some problems down the road if you ever decide to use a chain saw to cut those trees. Nails/screws in trees can really mess up a chain saw.
    Common sense isn't so common these days.
