Darnell Fencing - Durango's Experienced Fence Installation

Many Durango homeowners face fence damage from heavy snow and strong winds, especially in open areas near the Animas River. We reinforce posts with concrete footings below the frost line and use pressure-treated wood or galvanized steel that resists rot and rust. For existing fences, we can replace damaged sections and add wind braces to prevent future leaning.

Deer are a common issue in neighborhoods like Three Springs and along the Animas Valley. We install tall (7-8 ft) deer fencing made from black mesh or invisible wire that’s nearly invisible from a distance. For a more natural look, we combine a low wooden rail fence with high-tensile wire, keeping wildlife out while preserving your mountain views.

Freeze-thaw cycles can crack concrete and warp wood. We recommend vinyl or aluminum fencing for low maintenance, or cedar with proper sealing if you prefer wood. For gates, we use heavy-duty hinges and self-closing mechanisms to handle the shifting ground. We also set posts in gravel instead of solid concrete to allow drainage and reduce frost heave.
