Why Standard Fences Fail in Colorado Springs
Property owners across Colorado Springs, Fountain, and Falcon face unique climatic stresses: sudden 70-80 mph downslope Chinook winds, severe frost heave in winter, and bentonite clay that heaves unanchored posts out of plumb. Our specialized wood fences prevents leaning sections, loose pickets, and sagging gates through engineered depth and superior fastening.
Footing Depth: Minimum 24 inches (below 20" frost line).
Fasteners: Ceramic exterior screws (no nails to work loose).
Concrete: ~100 lbs per post for lateral wind resistance.
Our Step-by-Step Craftsmanship Process
1. Lumber Grade Selection
Hand-sorting #2 or better Western Red Cedar and kiln-dried Douglas Fir framing lumber board-by-board.
2. Subterranean Excavation
Boring 24-inch deep holes past the El Paso County frost line into dense subsoil.
3. Bell-Footing Concrete Anchoring
Pouring 100 lbs of 3,500-PSI commercial concrete with a crown finish to repel ground water.
4. Three-Rail Structural Framing
Installing three horizontal 2x4 rails per 6-foot span to prevent mid-span picket bowing.
5. Ceramic Star-Drive Screwing
Driving two ceramic exterior screws per picket at every rail connection (six screws per board).
6. Post Cap Fitting & Seal
Installing pyramid post caps to protect vulnerable post end-grain from rain and sun checking.
Cost Factors
The cost of wood fences in Colorado Springs depends on overall linear footage, ground slope, soil rockiness (especially on the granite west side near Manitou Springs), post material choices, and custom gate widths. Standard wood privacy fences generally range between $26 and $42 per linear foot installed, while specialty ranch rails, metal posts, or custom shadowbox styles reflect lumber grade and post depth specifications.
PPRBD & Local Permits
Wood fencing up to 6 feet in height in side and rear yards does not require a PPRBD building permit in El Paso County. Fences must maintain clear sight distances on corner lots (under 36 inches within 30 feet of intersections). All excavations comply with Colorado 811 utility locate laws. Jeremy's Fences holds Colorado SOS registration #20191360619.
The Veteran Standard
Natural wood fences thrive in Colorado when built with the right species and fastener engineering. We never use cheap white wood (spruce or green pine) that rots in five years. We exclusively build with hand-selected Western Red Cedar, 24-inch deep concrete footings, and ceramic screws with a lifetime warranty against pullout.
