Frequently Asked Questions

Fences that are leaning, structurally compromised, or have widespread rot beyond isolated sections typically require replacement. Repairs work for localized damage, but aging systems with multiple failing posts or rails cost more to patch than rebuild. Replacement ensures proper post depth and wind resistance for long-term stability.

High wind conditions in Cheyenne require deeper post depth and reinforced spacing to prevent leaning and panel failure. Posts are set below frost line with proper bracing, and panel layouts account for wind load. Without wind-resistant construction methods, fences experience accelerated wear and structural compromise.

Board-on-board uses overlapping vertical boards on alternating sides for complete privacy with better airflow, reducing wind pressure. Solid panel layouts mount boards flush on one side for a uniform appearance. Board-on-board handles high winds better because air passes through slight gaps, decreasing panel stress.

Vinyl resists rot, fading, and weather damage without staining or sealing, which wood requires every few years in Wyoming's climate. It maintains color through UV exposure and temperature swings. Homeowners avoiding ongoing maintenance choose vinyl, while those preferring natural appearance and customizable staining select wood.

Chain link accepts privacy slats that weave through the mesh, blocking visibility while maintaining airflow and structural integrity. Slats are available in multiple colors and resist fading. This upgrade combines chain link's durability and cost-effectiveness with added coverage for residential yards and commercial perimeters.

Custom fencing combines materials, heights, and layouts tailored to irregular landscapes or specialty applications through a collaborative design process. Standard installations follow preset dimensions and single-material systems. Custom designs address unique property lines, elevation changes, and aesthetic goals that off-the-shelf options can't accommodate.

Snow fencing is strategically placed before winter to control drifting that blocks driveways, roads, and structures on open-area properties. Placement depends on prevailing wind direction and vulnerable zones. Temporary setups allow removal after snow season, while some properties use permanent installations in high-drift corridors.

Posts set below frost line—typically 36 to 48 inches in Cheyenne—prevent heaving during freeze-thaw cycles that cause leaning and panel separation. Shallow posts shift as ground expands and contracts, stressing rails and creating gaps. Proper depth anchors the system against wind load and seasonal ground movement.

Complete removal of existing materials, haul-off, and ground-up rebuild using current layout and material preferences are included. The process addresses structural issues from the original installation, updates post spacing, and ensures compliance with property lines. Cleanup leaves the site ready with no debris removal required.

Pressure-treated lumber resists rot, insect damage, and moisture absorption that untreated wood can't withstand in outdoor exposure. Chemical treatment penetrates deep into the grain, extending lifespan significantly compared to standard lumber. This durability is essential for ground-contact posts and panels facing Wyoming's weather cycles.

Three-rail ranch style fencing provides durable boundary marking with wide spacing for visibility across terrain changes and livestock areas. The open design withstands outdoor exposure without blocking sightlines, making it ideal for rural settings. Custom layouts accommodate irregular property lines and varying elevations common on acreage.
