Cross Bar Fencing - Windsor's Best Commercial Fencing

The main cause is moisture trapped against wood posts in heavy clay soils, combined with wind pressure from chinook gusts. Many Windsor lots near the Poudre River or with automatic irrigation systems keep soil saturated, which accelerates rot at ground level. A sign that posts are failing is noticeable lean after a storm or sprinkler run. Cross Bar Fencing solves this by using concrete footings with proper drainage gravel, pressure-treated posts, or switching to galvanized steel posts for areas that stay wet.

Look for bowed or cracked rails, more than two leaning posts, and widespread rot at the base of pickets. If only one section is damaged by a car or fallen branch, repair is fine. But if posts are compromised by ground moisture or you have rusted chain-link anchors, replacement is often cheaper over time. Cross Bar Fencing can inspect your fence line, mark each issue, and give you a clear yes/no on repair versus replacement—no pressure, just practical advice for Windsor’s freeze-thaw cycle.

Deer in Windsor (especially near open space and the Poudre trail) target weakened spots—wobbly rails, wide gaps under the bottom board, or rotting pickets they can push apart. A clear sign is trail wear along one side of the fence. The solution is adding a tension wire along the bottom and reinforcing connection points. Cross Bar Fencing also installs deer-friendly options like taller mesh panels or wood slats with narrower spacing, so your fence stays sturdy without looking like a fortress.
