Loyalty is not flashy. It is consistent. That is true in relationships and it is absolutely true when it comes to fences in Utah.

A loyal fence is one that shows up season after season, holds its line, and keeps doing its job long after the excitement of installation fades. At Western Fence Company, we build fences designed to last because Utah’s climate does not forgive shortcuts.

Why Utah fences fail early

Utah presents unique challenges that many homeowners do not consider when choosing a fence. Extreme temperature swings cause materials to expand and contract. Heavy snow loads stress panels and gates. Dry summers pull moisture from wood. High winds test every post.

Fences that are not designed for these conditions often fail within a few years. Leaning posts, cracked boards, warped panels, and sagging gates are signs of a fence that was never built for Utah.

What makes a fence loyal

A fence that lasts longer starts with proper planning. Material selection matters, but so does how that material is installed.

At Western Fence Company, we focus on:
• Post depth set below frost line
• Proper drainage around posts
• Materials rated for ground contact
• Reinforcement where wind or slope demands it
• Hardware designed for freeze and thaw cycles

These details are invisible once the fence is complete, but they are the difference between a fence that survives and one that thrives.

Experience makes the difference

Under the leadership of CEO Jason McLaughlan, Western Fence Company has built a reputation as a trusted Utah fence company because we prioritize long term performance over speed.

Loyal fences last longer because they are built correctly from the ground up.
