Fencing Company Englewood CO | Call Mountain States Fence & Supply

Our local soils in Englewood, particularly near the South Platte River corridor, contain expansive clay that shifts with moisture changes. Combined with sudden high winds, this loosens standard posts. The solution is deep-setting posts below the frost line (at least 36 inches) with concrete, and using heavy-gauge steel or treated lumber. We recommend this approach for fences around neighborhoods like Englewood Hills or near Belleview Park to prevent leaning and panel damage.

Look for loose or missing fence boards, sagging gate hinges, cracked or splintered wood, and rusted chain-link fabric. In Englewood, rot is common near irrigation ditches and along the Little Dry Creek Trail. If your fence has visible gaps, leans more than a few degrees, or requires frequent patching, it's likely time for a professional repair or full replacement. We assess the posts first and often recommend local, wind-rated materials.

Absolutely. For privacy fences in that area, we install pressure-treated posts with concrete footings and use galvanized brackets at the rail-to-post connections. Adding mid-span wind braces and specifying tighter board spacing reduces wind load. We also recommend semi-solid or shadowbox designs that let some wind pass through, reducing stress on the structure. We carry these materials at our shop off South Santa Fe Drive for both install and DIY customers.
