Building a new fence
Once you and Fence Repair Of Denver have come to an agreement for your fence project, we’ll find a suitable install date. When we arrive on installation day, the first step before installing your new fence, is typically to demo your existing fence. We try our best to be tidy and to disturb as little vegetation as possible during this process. We will place the discarded fence material in a neat stack away from the work area. For smaller projects, we will personally handle hauling away the fence material. For larger projects, we call in a waste disposal service to pickup the fence material usually within 1-2 days of demo. This pricing is built into the project proposal and is not an added cost.

Setting fence posts
Once we have your fence lines cleared, we’ll mark out the footprint of the new fence and begin setting our fence posts. Properly setting fence posts is arguably the most important step in building a quality fence. The new fence posts are essentially like the foundation of a house – screw up this step, and the entire structure is compromised. For a standard 6′ tall fence, we set our new fence posts at 24″+ deep, which follows the recommended 1/3 depth to post height ratio. We also set our new fence posts in concrete. We use a dry set concrete pouring method, which means initially pouring dry concrete around the post, and then adding water once the posts have been properly plumbed and leveled. The concrete mix we use is designed for this exact method of pouring.

Rails & pickets
Once the fence posts have been properly set, we have a secure foundation to build off. For a typical vertical picket fence, we install our horizontal rails before attaching our pickets. The 2×4 rails will be screwed to the posts which provides a more secure long term connection between our post and rail. This helps most with high winds that put force on the fence sections. We then nail our pickets to the fence rails using ‘ring shank’ nails. The ring shank nail helps prevent the fence pickets from pulling away over time. A horizontal fence is built a little differently with no use of 2×4 rails, and instead having the pickets span the posts horizontally. We use a vertical ‘runner’ board in the middle of each section to add strength to the section, and to keep our pickets from warping.
