Complete wind elimination is impossible to achieve without other issues (such as backdraft) arising. Reducing the wind by 60% provides maximum wind reduction and effectiveness without compromising other factors. Most of our screens are comprised of a combination of wind netting materials. The larger bottom portion often consists of a denser wind netting with 60% wind break, while the upper portion netting has a 50% wind break factor. This combination of netting has proven to be the most effective in wind control without creating backdraft and swirling. Our screen and wind fences are specifically designed to provide the most comfortable environment behind the fence.

Having a wind fence can help to control dust and limit the wind affecting the job site by up to 60%. Being able to stop and redirect the wind away from stockpiles reduces the dust created by blowing particulates. Wind causes and spreads dust. Slowing and redirecting the wind is a key dust control strategy. Mines, mills and land development sites are a few examples of industries that frequently experience problematic dust. Excessive dust can have negative effects on business such as authorities issuing shut down orders, contamination of surrounding bodies of water and environment or even the loss of valuable product itself. Coal storage compounds at coal mines and sulphur stockpiles are prime examples of scenarios where wind fence application would help to minimize environmental impact and reduce product [and profit] loss. Wind fences are also an effective way to control odor. By installing a wind fence, the wind is ultimately slowed down and redirected therefore stopping the odor from being carried into neighbouring areas. Sewage lagoons and feedlots use our wind fences for this exact purpose. Eliminating odor can be achieved by strategically placing the wind fence around the origin of the odor such as around manure pits, septic tanks, sewer treatment plans and waste water lagoons. Our wind fences are effective and yet are not unpleasing to those passing by. The unique knitted netting material does not obstruct view, but does create a clear and clean visual of property division and can help to deter potential trespassers. A good litter control plan includes having a wind fence on the prevailing wind side, and a debris catch system on the opposite side. Wind fences can be used for both windandsunprotection.com and can be installed permanently or as portable wind screen panels. Our wind screens are a mesh type material, so they do catch flying debris, however we also offer a open mesh material as well. Due to increased awareness of environmental issues and increasing proximity of landfill sites to cities and other urban areas, the need for litter control and containment continues to rise. From recycling facilities to solid waste landfills, a wind fence can help to ensure a clean and safe environment, both within and surrounding areas, that meet any facilities’ requirements. Litter is never wanted, be it on your site or that of your neighbour’s. Having a proper litter control system and plan in place can help keep your property clean, clear of debris and provide a great first-impression for visitors or clients.
