Different High Fences that Can Withstand the Elements
Whether it’s a long and harsh winter or a hot, grueling summer, your high fence should be strong and versatile enough to withstand them all. We look at different weather conditions and recommend the appropriate fencing materials for each.
Picking a high fence that can survive strong winds
While no fence is 100% wind-proof, a little research and planning can help you choose a high fence that can stand up to windy storms better than most.
Metal high fences built with thin pickets and wide spaces between them, as well as chainlink high fences, stand up well to strong winds because these allow the winds to blow right through them, with no or very minimal damage.
Durable, affordable, and easy to maintain, PVC vinyl high fences can take on a battering from the wind, too. It’s also resistant to rot and pests.
High fences that can endure rain
For areas experiencing significant amounts of rainfall, a PVC vinyl high fence would be a great choice. It does not fade, crack, peel, chip, rust, rot, or develop mold issues due to its constant exposure to moisture. Make sure your high fence contractor builds a substantially thick fence to ensure structural integrity. Impact modifiers should also be added in the event of a solid blow.
High fences that can face a brutal winter head-on
There are high fence options that can withstand the expansion and contraction of the ground due to the freeze-thaw cycle.
If a wooden high fence appeals to you for aesthetic reasons, have your high fence contractor build one with metal posts to prevent water absorption and swelling from damaging the posts.
A steel fence can take on any weather condition and will not absorb water, making it warp-proof.
High fences for scorching weather conditions
The fencing material should not get extremely hot so it doesn’t become a safety hazard when touched. It should be able to withstand summer rain showers too, so it has to be impervious to moisture.
Given these criteria, high fence contractors like Straight Shooter Game Fencing would usually recommend PVC vinyl. This fencing material is resistant to temperature changes and will hardly feel warm even if it’s scorching hot outside, making it safe for animals and children who might accidentally come in contact with the fence.
