Abstract
We have developed windbreak fence which uses windproof sheet with view and landscape properties, and which has equal or higher benefits than the conventional net type or steel folded plate type. Windproof sheet is made by coating polyester fiber woven fabric (4.8 mm mesh size) with acrylic resin (aperture ratio is 40%, and wind shielding ratio is 60%). In the windbreak fence developed, the windproof sheet is expanded and stretched using special grips. The track record increases gradually in all over the country. This paper reports the basic performance of the windproof sheet such as view, weather resistance, durability, sheltering effect, and the unique deflection restoration property after receiving wind load.
