Snow Fence
Ok, guys & gals,
I need some help, I can get over 300 feet of wooden snow fence for free in 50 foot rolls. Give me a list of things you can do with it.
The obvious is to use it for snow fence, so skip that one ok?  :haha:

The most I ever seen the wooden picket fence used for other than snow fence which is placed several feet away from a road to cause the snow to drift near the fence, and not in the road, was to build round ear corn cribs. They will make a good fence for farm poultry and animals.

Hi, Bob,
Build the framework for a pole barn. Instead of putting sides or a roof on it, you string the wooden snow fence across the top side by side. This creates a shade house for putting your plant starts in to acclimate before you plant them.
This is used by plant nurseries all the time as a transition stage from starting seeds inside while there is still frosty mornings. This gives the starter plants a chance to get used to the weather temps. before going into the ground.

Find some crafters and sell it to them! Since we get little snow here in Texas, I have seen over the years, usually in 'antique/collectible' malls/stores; some decorating done with snow fence. The older and more beat up looking the better.
Some take artificial vines/flowers and string it along the fence and others have intertwined old dried grape vine and flowers, and also little whilte Christmas lights as well. I've seen it hung from ceilings, used as a room divider, and even as 'wainscoating'.
Hope that helps. You could probably get a pretty good bit reselling it in 'sections' for the crafters/decorators to use.

Or develop some community and realize that there are some VERY smart people on this forum who may have some good uses! 
Thanks for all the suggestions so far, keep em coming. I found out it is actually about 500 feet of fence, I am thinking of a garden barrer with chicken wire around the bottom. Lots of coons around here, and although it wouldn't stop them it may discourage them.

I know I know---you could bring it to me in Montana and maybe I could keep my road open till Christmas! LOL just kidding, but if there is snow fence where you live perhaps you have snow? could you use it for its intended purpose of breaking down drifts on part of your place that gets really driffted. Like by my green house entrance we generally get an 8 foot drift that takes till june to melt down enough for me to dig down to the door!

Oh, we get ALOT of snow here in NE Ohio. Last year was around 120" or so, (Gotta love lake effect) but where I am at right now just has natural windbreaks so I am not experiencing too much drifting, plus I have a plow that I just blow em out of the way with!
