High Mountain Contracting - Wheatland's Top-Rated Fence Contractors

The main cause is Wyoming's persistent wind and the freeze-thaw cycle. In Wheatland's soil, this can loosen the ground around posts, especially if they weren't set deep enough. High winds also put constant pressure on fence panels and gates, leading to gradual leaning or sagging over time.

Common signs include a gate that drags on the ground, won't latch properly, or a fence that visibly leans. If you see cracked boards, rusted hinges, or holes around post bases from wind or animal activity, it's time to call a contractor. Ignoring these issues can lead to total collapse during a storm.

For properties near the Platte River or open fields, we recommend heavy-duty steel or treated wood posts set in concrete, combined with wind-break fencing or reinforced gates. High Mountain Contracting specializes in these sturdy installations, using local-grade materials that can handle the gusts and occasional snow loads common across Wheatland.
