Wind Load: Installing a windscreen requires consideration of the stability of the fence it will attach to. Assessment needs to be made of the fence's wind load capacity, which depends on elements like post depth, wind direction and intensity, post gauge, cement amount, and wire gauge. These should be considered in combination with the wind passthrough of the chosen mesh, which can be found in the table above. Leaving a few inches of screen-free space at the fence bottom aids wind flow. In some cases, an engineer may need to assess the fence's suitability for a windscreen.
