S&S Fencing - Colorado Springs's Experienced Commercial Fencing

The primary cause is the region's intense UV exposure and the dramatic swings between dry heat and snow-melt moisture. Wood absorbs moisture during wet spells and then dries rapidly under the high-altitude sun and wind, which stresses the fibers. At S&S Fencing, we recommend seasonally appropriate weatherproofing treatments, including a quality stain with UV inhibitors, to slow down this cycle and extend the life of your fence.

While it starts as a cosmetic issue, rust in Colorado Springs often accelerates because of the freeze-thaw cycles and occasional road salt carried by wind or snow melt. If left untreated, rust can compromise the structural integrity of the gate hinges and frame. S&S Fencing offers gate repair and repainting services that involve sanding down the rust, applying a rust-inhibiting primer, and then a durable topcoat to protect against further damage.

Heavy, wet snow can accumulate at the base of the gate or on the tracks, causing the safety sensors to misalign or the motor to strain. We often find that simply clearing the snow and checking the sensor alignment solves the issue. If the motor has been damaged from strain, S&S Fencing can replace the opener or repair the gate's mechanical parts to restore smooth, automatic operation.
