Big Country Fencing - Meridian's Top-Rated Residential Fencing

In Meridian, the primary cause is the region's clay-heavy soil, which expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This soil movement, combined with high winds common in the Treasure Valley, can shift fence posts if they aren't set deep enough. Big Country Fencing prevents this by using concrete footings that extend below the frost line, anchoring posts securely in the stable soil beneath the clay layer.

Look for visible leaning posts, gaps between fence panels, or warped wood, especially after a windy storm. In Meridian, you might also notice cracks in the soil around the post base or gates that stick or drag. If your fence is near Eagle Road or The Village, where wind exposure is higher, check for loose nails or sagging sections. Big Country Fencing can inspect these issues and reinforce your fence to handle the local climate.

We start by assessing your property's exposure to wind and soil type, common in areas like Siena Lakes or near Ten Mile Creek. For privacy, we often recommend vinyl or cedar, as they resist warping from temperature swings. For security, we install steel or aluminum gates with reinforced posts. We also consider neighborhood covenants and HOA rules, ensuring your fence meets local codes while standing up to Meridian's weather.
