Residential Fencing Thornton CO | Call Fence It

Our area has heavy clay soil that expands when wet and contracts and shifts during dry spells and freezes. This soil movement often pushes fence posts out of alignment. Fence It specifically addresses this by digging deeper post holes (below the frost line) and using a crushed-gravel base for drainage. This prevents water from pooling around the wood and helps the posts stay plumb, even as the ground moves.

For properties exposed to wind, we recommend a semi-private fence design, such as a shadowbox style. This allows wind to pass through while still providing privacy. Fence It also installs heavy-duty posts and rails with additional bracing in high-wind areas. If you live near Eastlake or along the open plains north of 144th Avenue, we can help you select materials like vinyl or steel that hold up well in our gusts.

Yes, sagging gates are a common issue here due to post movement and the weight of the gate. Fence It can repair your gate by reinforcing the frame, replacing worn hinges, or adding a tension cable. In many cases, we can also adjust the gate by re-setting the hinge post deeper on a gravel base to prevent future sagging. We'll make it swing easily and latch securely again.
