Here's the most practical flood fence seen in Carroll county
From Carroll county we report on a flood ready fence built at the Schneider farm in Salem township. Two miles of fence were erected last year to survive Johnson creek floods with a simple gate system using long posts and poles lashed to corner posts with heavy wire. The design allows rails to be released by flood waters and then replaced after storms, praised as the simplest effective solution to unruly floods.
