Innovative Fencing Products: Professional Privacy Fence Installation Serving Thornton, CO 80602

Our local soils contain expansive clay that shifts with moisture changes, causing wooden and chain-link posts to lean over time. The solution is to set posts in a concrete collar that extends below the frost line (at least 30 inches) and use galvanized steel brackets. We can also reinforce existing posts with bracing or replace them with heavy-gauge steel posts that resist shifting and rust.

Thornton’s intense UV radiation combined with freeze-thaw cycles quickly degrades untreated wood. The sign to look for is raised grain and cracks along the bottom rails. We recommend a factory-applied wood stain or a sealed vinyl fence that won’t absorb moisture. For existing wood, we offer pressure-washing and applying a penetrating oil-based sealer every two years to extend its life.

Sagging gates are common in our area due to high winds and heavy snow loads. The cause is usually undersized hinges and lack of diagonal bracing. We install self-closing gate hinges with a 100-pound capacity rating, a diagonal tension rod, and a concrete-set post. For maximum durability, we now offer aluminum gates that are lightweight yet torsionally rigid—ideal for wind-prone streets near the Thorncreek area.
