i just bought some snow fence for my summer rail that i built and i tried to ski over it and it failed horribly. i put down some indoor/outdoor carpet under the snow fence. then i just layed the snow fence over the carpet. i had someone give me a push and i hardly moved. so if anyone has any ideas or knows something that im missing tell me.

Snow fence as in the orange stuff? I use carpet with plastic fence and sometimes a little water. It works great.

i just put the indoor/outdoor carpet on some grass then put the snow fence on that. ive looked at a lot of other set ups and it seems like that worked. should i put down something hard under the carpet like plywood so it isnt just grass under it? i really dont want to go to a ice rink so if this works it would be awesome. please help

We worked with what we had and what we had was limited wood and carpet. We've trashed that one since then.
