Long-Lasting Fencing That Stands Up to Ault Weather

Professional installation for long-lasting performance means posts set below frost line—at least 36 inches in Ault—so freeze-thaw cycles don't heave them out of alignment. It means using gravel backfill around posts instead of dirt-only fills that trap moisture and accelerate rot. It means tensioning rails properly so the fence doesn't sag after the first windstorm, and setting gates with enough clearance that they still swing freely when wood swells in spring.

The difference shows up two years later when your neighbor's fence leans 10 degrees and yours still stands plumb. Gates that drag after one season were hung without accounting for hinge settlement. Panels that split along the rails used fasteners that weren't rated for exterior exposure. A fence built right the first time doesn't need a repair call every time wind tops 40 mph—which in Ault happens several times a year as fronts roll off the foothills.

Wood, vinyl, and privacy fence solutions each suit different priorities. Cedar and pressure-treated pine offer natural aesthetics and solid privacy at moderate cost, but require staining or sealing every few years to prevent weathering. Vinyl resists moisture and doesn't need refinishing, though high winds and hail—common in northern Colorado—can crack panels that aren't reinforced with aluminum inserts. Privacy fences with tight-board spacing block sightlines and reduce noise, while spaced picket styles allow airflow that reduces wind load on posts.

Customized fencing for residential properties means matching height, style, and material to what you actually need: a six-foot privacy panel to screen a pool, a decorative picket border along the front yard, or a split-rail perimeter that keeps pets contained without blocking views. The right choice depends on whether you prioritize low maintenance, initial cost, wind resistance, or privacy. Explaining those trade-offs upfront prevents regret two seasons in when you realize the style you picked doesn't perform the way you expected.

Repairing damaged fencing after weather or age restores security, privacy, and curb appeal without replacing the entire run. A few rotted posts or broken rails don't mean you need 200 feet of new fencing—just the sections that failed. Common repairs include replacing wind-snapped rails, resetting leaning posts, rehanging sagging gates, and sistering new boards alongside split pickets.

• Replacing individual rotted posts while leaving sound sections intact
• Reattaching or replacing rails that pulled loose during windstorms
• Reinstalling pickets or panels that warped, split, or blew off
• Adjusting or replacing gate hardware that no longer latches or swings smoothly
• Reinforcing corners and ends where the fence connects to structures or transitions to another style
