Xpert Fencing: Trusted Commercial Fencing Serving Fort Collins, CO 80521

The main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle in our clay-heavy soils. Water expands when frozen and contracts when thawed, which loosens the soil around posts. Xpert Fencing solves this by removing old posts, digging deeper holes (typically 36 inches), and setting new posts in concrete with gravel at the bottom for drainage. This method resists the shifting common in Fort Collins neighborhoods like the University area.

Yes, dragging gates are a classic sign of wind damage, especially after a strong downslope windstorm common in Fort Collins. The wind can warp the gate frame or loosen the hinges. Xpert Fencing can repair it by realigning the frame, replacing bent hinges with heavy-duty ones, and adjusting the gate so it swings freely again. This service is available for homes near Horsetooth Reservoir or anywhere else in town.

Rust spots are often the first sign of galvanization fail from exposure to moisture and de-icing salts used on sidewalks. The latching issue is usually due to a sagging gate caused by a loose tension bar. Xpert Fencing can replace the affected chain-link fabric and install a new, tight tension bar and a self-latching gate. They also offer a vinyl-coated chain link that's more resistant to rust for properties in areas like the Poudre River corridor.
