Windbreak Fencing Arvada, CO

The first step our team takes when a customer contacts us regarding a potential windbreak fence project is to schedule an initial assessment of their Arvada, CO property.

We’ll walk the grounds and consider important factors like existing wind patterns/problem areas, intended windblocking goals, property usage/features needing protection, zoning restrictions, terrain challenges, aesthetic preferences, budget parameters, and future plans for the land.

With a comprehensive understanding of your unique windbreak fencing needs and priorities in hand, our experts can then move forward with designing an optimal barrier fence solution tailored specifically for your situation and property.

Custom Windbreak Fence Design

Leveraging over 15 years of wind barrier design experience and the property assessment details, our Arvada fence installation team will create a customized windbreak fence plan for you.

We consider creative solutions for unusual wind patterns, incorporate existing landscaping and structures, address terrain changes across the property, complement the area’s aesthetic style, fit unusual property shapes/sizes, allow clear visibility if desired, and work within your budget.

The materials we choose for your wind blocking fence project depend on factors like intended lifespan, required wind resistance strength, aesthetic preferences, maintenance goals, eco-friendliness, and cost.

Common wind barrier fence materials include wood, vinyl, chain link with privacy slats, stone/masonry, living plant walls (hedges), reeds/bamboo, and more. Our experts will recommend the best fencing components for your specific situation.

You’ll have the opportunity to review the 3D design renderings, material choices, and budget estimate before approving the windbreak fencing recommendations. We’ll then order customized materials and finalize an installation schedule convenient for you.

Efficient Installation Process

With the legwork of design and material selection done, our professional crew gets to work efficiently installing your new wind barrier fence. We take great care to minimize disruption to your property and activities during the windbreak construction process. The fence is built to maximize sturdiness, seamless blending with the surroundings, and ease of future maintenance.

Here is an overview of the key installation steps our Arvada fence installation team follows:

Survey and Mark Fence Line: We’ll survey and mark the precise windbreak fence line laid out in the approved plans, rechecking for any obstacles.

Prepare the Ground: The fence line is cleared and leveled. We remove old fences/debris if necessary. Ground preparation may also involve terrain shaping, gravel adding, concrete pouring for posts, etc.

Install Fence Posts: We dig holes for and install the specialized windblocking fence posts in heavy-duty concrete to ensure stability. Post type, depth, and spacing are optimized for the specific project.

Attach Rails and Frame: With the posts cemented in place, we attach horizontal rails and assemble the full wind barrier fence framework according to the engineered design.

Add Fencing Material: The chosen fencing material (privacy slats, stone, living hedge, etc.) is then professionally installed onto the framework based on the windblocking performance specifications.

Accessories and Finishing Touches: Any optional fence features like gates, decorative elements, internal wind diverters, etc. are added to complete your wind barrier fence.

Throughout the entire process our crew follows best practices for a long-lasting, high-performing installation you can enjoy for decades. We also clean up the site and haul away all debris when finished.

Windload Testing and Inspection

For quality assurance and safety, it is important to have newly installed wind barriers tested to ensure they can withstand windload forces without failing. Our Arvada fence company brings in a qualified third-party engineering firm to conduct thorough windload tests on your completed windbreak fence.

They will simulate intense wind speeds from multiple angles and inspect the wind barrier fence for:

• Post stability and underground depth
• Connection strength between posts, rails, and fencing material
• Deflection degree and ability to rebound
• Signs of stress on any components
• General robustness and safety

Minor adjustments can be made on the spot to optimize wind stability. If any parts prove substandard, they will be reinforced or replaced right away. Only when the windbreak fencing passes all tests with flying colors will the project be finalized. Having this expert windload validation provides confidence and peace of mind your wind barrier will perform safely for years to come.

Ongoing Fence Care

While the windbreak fences we install are built of durable materials and to last decades, periodic inspection and maintenance is still needed to maximize lifespan. Our Arvada fencing company offers the following windbreak fence care services to protect your investment:

Seasonal Inspections: About twice per year our team will assess your wind barrier fence for any signs of wear, instability, holes/gaps, ground erosion, weakened materials, or other issues needing correction. We’ll make repairs promptly to prevent larger problems.

Material Upkeep: Based on fence material type, our techs can seal/stain wood, tighten/replace slats, clear debris, power wash, treat living plants, or conduct other maintenance for peak durability and appearance.

Windload Retesting: Approximately every 5 years having an updated windload analysis is recommended. We again bring out a certified inspector to ensure your wind barrier can still withstand wind speeds per code given environmental changes over time.

Ongoing windbreak fence inspection, repairs, preservation treatments, and retesting will all help maximize performance, safety, and attractiveness while minimizing lifetime costs. Contact Arvada Fence Company to setup a tailored wind barrier fence care plan.
