OGDEN FENCING BLOG

​Step 1: Initial Consultation & Quote
Your vinyl fence project begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll meet you on-site to:

• Discuss your fencing goals (privacy, security, style)
• Measure the fence line and note slopes, obstructions, and property lines
• Talk about height, color, and style preferences (privacy panels, lattice tops, gates, etc.)
• Review local codes and HOA requirements
• Provide a clear estimate with timeline and cost breakdown

Step 2: Site Prep & Layout

• Once your quote is approved and materials are ordered, our team gets to work prepping your property.
• We measure and stake out the exact fence line
• Mark post locations to ensure spacing is even and compliant with vinyl system specs
• Address any terrain challenges (slopes, rocks, uneven grade)
• Remove old fencing if applicable (we handle tear-out and disposal)
• This step ensures your new vinyl fence installs straight, secure, and with clean symmetry.

Step 3: Post Hole Digging & Setting Posts
Now it’s time to get into the ground—literally.

1. We dig precise holes for each post, typically 24–30 inches deep
2. Holes are filled with concrete, not dirt, to ensure long-term strength
3. We carefully level and align each vinyl post, allowing proper cure time
4. For sloped yards, we use racked or stepped panels, depending on your fence type
5. Proper post installation is what makes your fence last decades, especially with Utah’s shifting weather.

Step 4: Installing Panels & Gates

• Once posts are set and the concrete has cured:
• We slide the vinyl fence panels into place between the posts
• Secure everything using hidden brackets or routed posts for a clean, seamless look
• Custom-cut panels to fit corners or short spans as needed
• Install vinyl gates with strong hinges and locking latches (we also offer key lock or self-closing options)
• Every section is measured and double-checked to ensure your fence is level, secure, and uniform.

 Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Clean-Up
Before we wrap up, we always do a full-site walkthrough with you.

• Inspect the alignment, gate operation, and panel fit
• Answer any maintenance questions
• Remove leftover materials, concrete, and packaging
• Leave your yard clean and picture-ready
• Your satisfaction is the final step in our process.

Maintenance Tips for Your New Vinyl Fence

• One of the best parts about vinyl fencing is how easy it is to maintain.
• Wash with soap and water once or twice a year
• Check gate hinges periodically and tighten if needed
• No staining, sealing, or painting required—ever
• Resistant to UV, water damage, insects, and rot

​Every property is unique, and each vinyl fence installation may vary depending on factors such as terrain, existing structures, soil conditions, city permit requirements, and custom design preferences. The steps outlined above represent a general overview of our standard process. Some projects may require additional steps or omit certain phases based on your specific needs and site conditions. We’ll always walk you through exactly what your project entails during your consultation.

Picking the Perfect Fence Starts with the Right MaterialWhether you're enhancing your curb appeal, creating a private backyard retreat, or securing your property, choosing the right fence is a big decision. At Ogden Fencing & Landscaping, our team of expert fence contractors is here to help guide you through the three most popular fencing options: wood, vinyl, and metal.
Let’s explore the differences—style, durability, privacy, maintenance, and how each one holds up in Utah’s climate.

Wood Fencing: Natural, Timeless, and Customizable
Best for: Traditional charm, privacy, and flexible styles
Popular styles: Board-on-board, dog-ear, lattice-top, shadowbox
Pros:

• Warm, natural appearance
• Highly customizable (paint, stain, height, style)
• Great for privacy and noise control
• Affordable upfront cost

Cons:

• Requires regular maintenance (sealing, staining)
• Can warp or rot over time
• Susceptible to termites and weather damage without care

Climate Tip: Utah’s dry summers and snowy winters can impact untreated wood—routine maintenance is essential for longevity.

Vinyl Fencing: Clean, Durable, and Low-Maintenance
Best for: Low-maintenance privacy with a modern look
Popular styles: Full privacy, picket, scalloped, lattice
Pros:

• No painting or staining required
• Resistant to rot, pests, and fading
• Easy to clean with soap and water
• Long-lasting and great for privacy

Cons:

• Higher upfront cost than wood
• Less customizable (limited colors and textures)
• May crack in extreme cold if low-quality material is used

Climate Tip: Vinyl performs well in Utah's climate, but premium-grade vinyl is recommended for durability through freeze-thaw cycles.

Metal Fencing: Strong, Sleek, and Secure
Best for: Security, elegance, and minimal maintenance
Popular styles: Wrought iron, aluminum, steel panels
Pros:

• Incredibly durable and weather-resistant
• Offers both visibility and security
• Elegant, modern, or industrial design options
• Requires little maintenance—just occasional rust touch-ups for steel

Cons:

• Less privacy unless paired with plants or panels
• Higher material and installation cost
• Can rust over time (especially wrought iron)

Climate Tip: Powder-coated or galvanized metal options are best for Utah’s moisture fluctuations and snow exposure.

Durable, Rustic, and Practical—This Is the Fence That Works as Hard as You Do.

If you live on acreage, own livestock, or just love the clean, rustic look of ranch-style fencing, a farm fence (like the one in the photo above) might be the perfect fit for your property. At Ogden Fencing & Landscaping, we specialize in private property fencing that delivers both function and style.

What Is a Farm-Style Fence?
Farm fencing—also called post and rail fencing—is made from horizontal wooden boards attached to sturdy vertical posts. It’s often used on ranches, large residential properties, agricultural land, and estates.

The style in your photo is a 4-rail black painted wood fence, which is both functional and visually striking—ideal for keeping boundaries clear without obstructing the view.

Why Choose This Type of Fence?
Property Definition Without Obstruction
Mark your land clearly while maintaining open sightlines and a natural flow.

Ideal for Livestock & Horses
Great for keeping animals in or out. We can also add wire mesh for extra security.

Classic Rural Aesthetic
Adds character and enhances curb appeal—especially when paired with long driveways, barns, or fields.

Sturdy & Customizable
Built with weather-treated lumber or composite options. Paint or stain in black, white, or natural wood tone to match your aesthetic.

Utah Climate Considerations
Ogden’s changing seasons—from dry heat to heavy snowfall—mean you need fencing that’s made to last. We use pressure-treated or sealed wood, and offer maintenance plans to keep your fence strong and beautiful year after year.

Need even more durability? We also offer composite rail fencing with the same visual charm and lower maintenance.

Add Privacy Without Losing the Look
Want a more private version of this style? Ask about adding mesh backing or pairing it with hedges or shrubs for a natural privacy barrier that blends beautifully into your landscape.
