Examples of Snake Fencing installed by residents in Valencia....
For more info on snake safety, see below:

The fence should either be solid or with mesh no larger than 1/4 inch. It should be at least three feet high with the bottom buried a few inches in the ground.   Vegetation should be kept away from the fence since the snake could crawl to the top of an adjacent tree or shrub. Discourage snakes by removing piles of boards or rocks around the home. Source: http://www.fishsniffer.com/guest/030630rattlesnake.html Pictures used by permission. A more robust variation of this snake fence design can be viewed in this PDF download from the Kansas State University's 'OzNet' website at: http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/library/wldlf2/L864.pdf

Slanting your snake fence outward about a 30-degree angle will help.

A recent article in the Sports Guide of Salt Lake City on Snakes advises that Rattlesnakes don't need to be coiled to strike.
