Commercial Fencing Salida CO | Call Rino Remodeling

The freeze-thaw cycle in Salida is a primary cause. When moisture in the soil freezes, it expands and can push fence posts out of alignment. As the ground thaws, the posts may settle unevenly. This is especially common with untreated wood or posts set too shallow. Rino Remodeling addresses this by using frost-proof footings and selecting materials that resist moisture absorption, such as treated lumber or metal posts.

Look for leaning sections, loose boards, or sagging gates. Rot at the base of wooden posts or rust on metal hardware also signals damage. If less than 30% of the fence is affected, targeted repair may be sufficient. However, if multiple posts are heaving or the structure is unstable, replacement is often more cost-effective. Rino Remodeling can inspect your fence and give a straightforward recommendation based on the condition of your specific installation.

Yes. For Salida’s dry summers and cold winters, we recommend materials like cedar, metal, or composite that resist warping and cracking. We also set posts deeper and use gravel backfill to improve drainage, reducing freeze-thaw damage. Whether you need a privacy fence, a gate that clears snow, or a custom design, we build with local weather in mind so your fence lasts longer.
