Broken Spur Fencing | Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Montpelier, ID

Look for loose or leaning posts, sagging sections, cracked or splintered wood, rusted fasteners, and gaps under the fence. Heavy snow accumulation can cause top rails to bow, and soil erosion from spring runoff may expose post bases. If gates drag or won't latch properly, that's a clear sign of shifting posts. Catching these issues early with Broken Spur's inspection services can prevent larger damage.

The main causes are freeze-thaw cycles lifting posts, strong winds from Bear Lake snapping rails, and moisture leading to rot. Animals like deer can also push against weaker sections. Broken Spur uses galvanized brackets and pressure-treated wood or steel posts set below frost line. They offer custom bracing for high-wind areas and recommend seasonal maintenance like checking for loose nails and keeping vegetation clear to improve airflow.

Absolutely. Snow loads often snap top rails or push entire sections out of alignment. Broken Spur provides emergency tarping to secure your property and then replaces damaged panels, resets leaning posts, or reinforces gates. They work quickly to restore security and prevent livestock escape. They also advise on snow removal techniques to avoid future damage, like using a plastic shovel instead of a metal one.
