Castle Country Fencing: Trusted Fence Contractors Serving Price, UT 84501

This is a very common issue around Price, and it’s usually due to our soil and weather. We have heavy clay soils that shift with moisture changes, and high winds that put constant pressure on fence posts. If posts aren’t set deep enough or in concrete that’s mixed correctly, they’ll eventually lean. Castle Country Fencing fixes this by removing old posts, digging proper holes, and setting new posts with concrete that’s designed to hold up in our local ground conditions. We also check for proper drainage so water doesn’t loosen the base.

Yes, a dragging gate is often a sign that the post it’s attached to is tilting or that the gate frame itself has twisted from sun and wind damage. In Price, the dry heat can warp wood gates over time, and the soil movement can tip gate posts. The solution can be as simple as adjusting the hinge hardware or re-leveling the post, but sometimes the gate needs to be rebuilt with a heavier frame, especially if it’s a wide entrance. Castle Country Fencing can reinforce the hinge post and install a gate that stays square, even in our hot summers and freezing winters.

For our area, I typically recommend either heavy-gauge chain-link with a galvanized finish or well-treated cedar or pine with proper spacing. Chain-link is great around the Price River bottoms because it doesn’t rot or warp, and it lets wind pass through. For wood privacy fences, a board-on-board style with a gap or using horizontal slats can reduce wind pressure, preventing panels from blowing out. Steel or aluminum tube frames for gates are also a good investment here. Castle Country Fencing can match your budget and your property’s exposure to the wind, whether you’re up on the bench or down in town.
