Fort Collins, CO · Larimer County

Old Town brick and Harmony cul-de-sacs. Tell us where to send it, then one number.

Fort Collins mixes alley houses near downtown with newer filings along Harmony. Spring wind comes off the foothills, and a surprising number of lots share a ditch or an alley the fence has to respect.

And FenceOwl stays with you around the clock until the fence is finished. We're here to be your advocate and spokesperson with the contractor, and to make sure the whole process goes smoothly. These are company promises, not a contractor slogan.

    Every contractor is reviewed by FenceOwl before they can buy a job.

    FenceOwl stays on the line with you, day or night, until the project is done.

One price

We take the negotiation out of hiring a fence contractor.

Answer a few quick questions, tell us where to send it, and see your price right away. Pre-vetted contractors already compete in the book, so the number you see is the price. No haggling. No back-and-forth bids.

A Fort Collins fence should not turn into a week of counteroffers. After you tell us where to send it, pre-vetted contractors have already competed in the book.

Weather on this fence

What the climate asks of a Fort Collins fence

Foothills wind in spring and a hard freeze are the usual tests. Hail happens, though the big story is UV at this latitude plus irrigation spray that keeps the bottom of a wood fence wet.

Materials that fit

Cedar privacy along an alley, picket where the front yard faces a bike path, vinyl where you do not want a stain weekend. Keep the bottom of wood off constant sprinkler spray.

The $ budget tier

These crews are carefully vetted for quality work and craftsmanship, but they use cheaper materials that don't carry a warranty and they won't warranty the work either. The product is good for an under 10 year timeline. Everyone still carries the necessary insurance and any license their city requires. Contractors at this tier may not accept credit cards or offer financing.

Fence styles for a Fort Collins lot

Cedar dog-ear is the standard option. Craftsman cedar is the upgraded privacy style, on the higher budgets. Chain link is galvanized or black vinyl-coated, at 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft, with the same walk and drive gates. Wood picket, vinyl, composite, aluminum, iron, and custom include 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft. Split rail is an open wood post-and-rail fence, about 4 ft as 2-rail or 3-rail, with optional wire mesh. Answer a few quick questions, tell us where to send it, and see your price right away.

Fort Collins questions

Do Fort Collins alleys change the fence line?

Alleys and drive approaches can pull a fence back even when the side yard looks clear on the photo. The estimate says so, and the visit confirms it.

Is Timnath included when I start on the Fort Collins page?

The map opens on Fort Collins. You can search a Timnath or Windsor address from here. The lead still shows that the funnel was Fort Collins.

How should wood handle ditch irrigation?

Boards that stay damp at the bottom fail first. If your lot irrigates against the fence, say so when you book the visit so the crew can plan a gap or a different bottom detail.
