:good: That's what I got. 11 stacks front to back, each stack has 4 layers of 6 bundles and 2 layers of 8 bundles.

Zero!

They are all on the trailer, ha ha.

It looks like 396 on the trailer to me.

It is a little hard to tell if there is 3 or 4 on the bundles perpendicular to the trailer but I think it is 3 because it is clear in the end view that only 3 fit on one length of bundle.

It is a roll of fencing with wooden slats used to hold blowing snow back. Here we mainly see it in Ski Areas.

Some people call the orange plastic stuff snow fence too.

I came up with 396. The side views can be deceptive, but assuming there are three bundles perpendicular for every one lengthwise it works out to 396.

BINGO

The center is hollowed out and FEMA is using trucks like this to transport body bags to their camp locations without arousing suspicion amongst the sheeple.

What is the length of each roll?

Based upon the height of the fence being 4 feet, what is the length of each roll? (Standard lengths are 25' and 50' rolls). What length are these rolls and what is your method of determining the length?

What is the length of each roll?

Those are 50' rolls. I've put up quite a few in my day. Each roll weighs right at 100 lb.

The fence is not intended to stop the snow behind it, per se. It is designed to cause turbulence such that the velocity of the wind is slowed both behind and in front of the slats causing the snow to drop out. As the snow piles grow, increased turbulence improves the snow-dropping efficiency. There are lovely equations that may be used to determine where the snow will be deposited the most and the least. Similar equations are used for windbreaks consisting of rows of trees of differing heights.
