Snow Fence Wooden Tower
During the summer I use homemade wooden towers to support a pair of 40-ft. long, 8-in. dia. “half-pipes” that collect rainwater on both sides of my garage’s metal roof (see story in this issue on page 36).
  During winter, I use the 5 and 4-ft. towers to support a pair of 10-ft. Western-style snow fences that keep snow from drifting between my house and garage. I just nail 10-ft. long 1 by 6’s across both sides of the towers. Each tower measures 36 in. wide at the bottom and 18 in. wide at the top. I treat the wood with Wolman’s F&P redwood stain finish and preservative. (Mark Johnson, 53742 Co. Hwy. 44, Park Rapids, Minn. 56470 ph 218 732-4214; maryjjohnson57@gmail.com)
