Sauble Beach/Friday Fences

 Fencing on Lake Huron

 Sometimes the wind blows fiercely off Lake Huron! This fencing helps control some of the blowing sand.

Pathway to control foot traffic

The fence helps keep traffic off the sand dunes when visitors leave the beach to reach their transportation home.

I am linking to Friday Fences here.

    The most important is the view for the fences, it is wonderful. Yours.

  3. I'm old enough to remember when we could drive our cars onto Sauble Beach right up to the water's edge. Just like Wasaga Beach.

  11. we have similar fencing on our dunes at the beach, it helps with blowing sand and keeps people off that do not pay attention to posted, do not climb on dunes signs.

  14. Look like snow fences to me! But I'm glad they're being put to good use. The dunes are very delicate and very important to the environment. Love that blue-green water.

  24. Good idea for directing traffic and controlling the blowing sand. We see similar fences along roads here, used to control snow drifts.
