Lessons We've Learned from the Last Few Years of Fence Building in Utah

At Kodiak Fence Co., fencing isn’t just our business—it’s our craft. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of Utah's unique terrain and climate, we’ve learned a lot about what works, what doesn’t, and how to build fences that truly last. Over the past few years, we've faced a wide range of challenges, and each one has helped us refine our process and deliver even better results for our customers.

Adapting to Utah's Soil and Terrain

Utah is known for its diverse landscape—from rocky ground in the foothills to soft clay and sand in valley neighborhoods. We've learned that each job requires a tailored approach. In harder soil conditions, we've upgraded our equipment and digging methods to ensure every post is set correctly, no shortcuts. In softer areas, we've adapted our concrete mixing and curing techniques to prevent leaning or shifting over time.

We always perform a thorough site evaluation before installation because what works in one backyard may not work next door. That local know-how means fewer surprises for our customers and stronger, longer-lasting fences.

Building for Utah’s Wind and Weather

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is how much Utah's high winds and harsh seasonal shifts can test a fence. We've seen fences installed by less experienced crews come down in storms simply because they weren’t anchored deep enough or built with the right materials.

We’ve adjusted our building standards to exceed basic requirements—including deeper post setting, wind-resistant bracing, and recommending materials like vinyl and steel-reinforced posts in high-wind areas. Our fences are built to withstand snowy winters, blazing summers, and everything in between.

Common On-the-Job Challenges

Across Utah County and Sanpete County, we often work with properties that have uneven ground, high wind exposure, or restrictive HOA guidelines. Over time, we’ve developed solutions that work in these settings—like using stepped or racked panels for slopes, reinforcing gates in high-traffic areas, and guiding homeowners through fence permitting.

These field experiences have shaped the way we approach every new project—with preparation, problem-solving, and long-term durability in mind.
