Frequently Asked Questions About Permanent Fences
What factors influence the total cost of a permanent fence installation in Colorado?
The total investment for your fence depends on a few key variables:
- Material choice: Chain link is generally the most cost-effective, wood sits in the mid-tier, and ornamental metal represents a premium, long-term investment.
- Total linear footage & height: Simply put, the more ground we cover, and the taller the fence, the more materials and labor are required.
- Terrain & soil conditions: Rocky Mountain soils, heavy clay, sloped yards, or areas requiring specialized digging equipment (like setting posts into solid rock) will impact labor costs.
- Gate additions: The number of walk-gates or automated drive-gates you incorporate into the layout.
Do I need a permit for a permanent fence, and does Strategic Fence handle it?
Permit requirements vary heavily by local municipality and county regulations across our service areas (like Summit, Eagle, and Pitkin counties). Generally, fences under 6 feet tall may not require a building permit, but strict setback rules, height limits, and historic district guidelines often apply—especially in mountain towns like Breckenridge or Vail. If you’re part of a Homeowners Association (HOA), you will need to secure their approval independently. Strategic Fence can guide you through local code requirements during our initial consultation.
How long does the installation process typically take?
Most standard residential permanent fence installations are completed within 2 to 5 consecutive business days once our team arrives on-site. The exact timeline depends on the project size, total linear footage, and soil complexity. Please note that ahead of construction, a few weeks are typically required to finalize designs, mark underground utilities (via 811), and secure materials.
Which type of wood is best for Colorado's extreme weather, and how do I maintain it?
We highly recommend Western Red Cedar or premium pressure-treated lumber for Colorado properties. Cedar naturally resists rot, decay, and insect damage while handling our intense alpine UV rays and heavy snow loads better than cheaper alternatives.
- Maintenance Tip: To prevent the wood from weathering to a gray patina and checking (splitting due to dry air), we recommend applying a high-quality UV-inhibiting sealant or stain every 2 to 3 years.
How do you ensure wood fence posts don't rot in wet or snowy mountain soils?
Post failure is the number one cause of fence collapse. To prevent this, Strategic Fence sets all permanent wood posts deep below the local frost line (typically 36 to 48 inches deep, depending on your exact elevation) in concrete. We slope the top of the concrete footing away from the post to shed water and melting snow, keeping moisture from pooling around the base of the timber.
Will an ornamental metal fence rust during harsh Colorado winters?
No. The modern ornamental steel and aluminum fences we install are engineered for extreme climates. They feature a factory-applied, powder-coated finish that is baked on at high temperatures. This creates an incredibly durable barrier that resists chipping, scratching, moisture, and road salt damage, giving you a traditional wrought-iron look with virtually zero maintenance.
Are ornamental fences effective for keeping pets in and wildlife out?
Ornamental fences are excellent for containing medium-to-large dogs and establishing clear boundaries. However, because they feature open vertical pickets (usually spaced about 3.5 to 4 inches apart), they may not contain tiny toy dog breeds. For wildlife mitigation, like keeping out deer or elk, the fence height must be carefully considered, as mountain wildlife can easily clear standard 4-foot structures.
What are the advantages of choosing a chain link fence for my property?
Chain link is the ultimate utility option. It provides maximum security, durability, and boundary definition at the lowest price point per linear foot. It requires zero maintenance, won’t catch high mountain winds, and easily handles heavy snow piled against it. It’s an ideal choice for large acreage, commercial perimeters, and secure dog runs.
Can I add privacy to a permanent chain link fence?
Absolutely. If you want the cost efficiency of chain link but need visual privacy, we can install heavy-duty PVC privacy slats directly into the mesh fabric. Alternatively, we offer visual and construction screening options that clip directly to the fence to block lines of sight from neighboring properties or busy roads.
