Privacy Fence Installation Colorado Springs CO | Call COS WD&F

The most common cause is our persistent, strong winds, especially in open areas near Palmer Park or along the Powers corridor. Poor initial installation—like shallow post holes or undersized materials—also leads to failure. Over time, the wind loosens the soil around posts, causing tilting, especially if the fence acts like a sail.

Look for obvious signs like leaning sections, loose or missing pickets, cracked rails, or posts that wobble when pushed. If posts are rotting at the base or the damage is widespread, replacement is often more cost-effective. A quick inspection after a high-wind event can catch problems early.

We specialize in wind-resistant designs, including using heavy-gauge metal posts, deeper concrete footings, and semi-solid or spaced picket styles that reduce wind load. For gates, we install reinforced hinges and latches. Our team assesses your property’s specific exposure and recommends materials like steel, vinyl, or treated wood built to handle Colorado Springs’ gusts.
