What Our Cedar Fence Includes
We never take shortcuts with post depth or fasteners. Every project includes complete professional execution from utility locate coordination through final cleanup.
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 cedar fence 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. Picket & Post Grading
Hand-inspecting every Western Red Cedar board for tight grain, minimal knots, and zero wane.
2. Frost-Line Excavation
Boring holes minimum 24 inches deep below the regional 20-inch frost line with hydraulic augers.
3. Solid Foundation Pour
Setting posts in 100 lbs of mixed commercial concrete with a bell-shaped bottom to lock against heave.
4. Three-Rail Backing Assembly
Fastening 2x4 kiln-dried horizontal rails with heavy ceramic star-drive exterior screws.
5. Board-by-Board Plumb Fastening
Mounting 5/8-inch cedar pickets with 1/16-inch expansion spacing to accommodate seasonal humidity.
6. End-Grain Protection & Cleanup
Treating cut post tops with protective paraffin sealer and sweeping yard with magnets.
Cost Factors
The cost of cedar fence 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
Western Red Cedar fence installations adhere to PPRBD residential standards (exempt under 6 feet in rear/side yards). If located within an HOA community (such as Cordera, Wolf Ranch, or Peregrine), we ensure compliance with mandated dog-ear profiles, 1x4 cap rails, and approved semi-transparent stain palettes. Colorado 811 marks utilities before digging.
