All Season Landscape and Construction - Billings's Top-Rated Wood and Vinyl Fencing

The primary cause is our heavy snow loads and strong winds, which put stress on fence posts. Over time, the ground can also shift due to freeze-thaw cycles, loosening the posts. Our solution is to set posts deeper (minimum 36 inches) with concrete collars to prevent movement.

Look for leaning posts, loose rails, cracked boards, or gates that drag. In Billings, winter damage often appears after snowmelt. If your fence sways in wind or has gaps, it’s time for a repair. We inspect posts for rot and can reinforce them to prevent collapse.

We design fences with wind reduction in mind, using spaced pickets or semi-solid panels to let wind pass through. For solid fences, we add extra bracing and thicker posts. In exposed areas near the Billings Rimrocks, we recommend 6x6 posts and galvanized hardware for maximum durability.
