📚 Southern Colorado Fence Guide & Expert Advice

How Colorado Weather Affects Your Fence (And How to Prevent Damage)

Professional insights, localized building tips, and expert recommendations from Epic Fences.

Canon City experiences a wide range of weather—from 100-degree summer days to sub-zero winter nights. This “thermal cycling” causes fencing materials to expand and contract, which can lead to warping or cracking.

Preventing Weather Damage

  • UV Protection: Use high-quality oil-based stains for cedar.
  • Wind Anchoring: Ensure posts are set deep enough to withstand 80mph gusts.
  • Drainage: Clear debris from the base of your fence to prevent snow-melt rot.
