FAQ’s

For longevity in Utah, we recommend Vinyl or Trex Composite. Our high elevation means intense UV rays that can warp or dry out standard wood. Vinyl and Trex are engineered with UV inhibitors to maintain their color and structural integrity through 100-degree summers and sub-zero winters.

Trex Seclusions® is the gold standard for high-wind areas. It features a unique interlocking picket system that creates a solid barrier while being laboratory-tested to withstand sustained winds of up to 130 MPH. This makes it the ideal choice for homes on the Kaysville and Layton benches.

Professional-grade vinyl, like what we install at Bronco Fence, has a higher wall thickness (typically .135″ to .150″) and contains significantly more Titanium Dioxide (Ti02). This prevents the yellowing and brittleness often seen in cheaper retail products within 3-5 years.

Yes. Cedar contains natural oils that act as a preservative against rot and insects. In Utah’s arid climate, it resists “checking” (splitting) much better than pressure-treated pine or fir, though it still requires staining every 2-3 years for maximum life.

Not if it is treated correctly. We provide powder-coated ornamental aluminum and iron. Unlike traditional wet paint, powder coating creates a hard, non-porous finish that resists the corrosive effects of winter salt and melting snowpack.

Yes. We offer semi-privacy vinyl, horizontal wood slats, and Trex designs that allow for airflow while obscuring the view into your yard. This is a great middle-ground for breezy areas in Davis County.

At Bronco Fence, we set posts at a minimum of 30 to 36 inches deep. This is critical because the Utah frost line can reach 30 inches; setting posts below this line prevents “frost heave,” which is when frozen ground physically pushes posts out of the soil.

Yes. We follow a “Quality Set in Concrete” standard. We use a high-strength wet-mix concrete for every post to ensure a permanent bond with the soil, rather than just tamping dirt or using dry-bag methods that can lead to leaning over time.

We use two primary methods: Stepping (where the fence looks like stairs) or Racking (where the fence follows the contour of the ground). Racking is generally preferred for pet owners in the Ogden foothills as it leaves no gaps at the bottom.

Our installation checklist agreement says,” Every effort will be made to avoid sprinkler lines; however, this is not always possible. Bronco Fence is not responsible for damaged, or broken lines. The cost of repairing sprinkler lines will be borne by the customer. In some cases, it may be necessary to alter the design of your project to avoid potential repair costs.” We don’t repair the lines.

We can install fences as long as the ground isn’t frozen solid more than a foot deep. While winter installs may take slightly longer due to snow clearing, we can often keep projects moving year-round to ensure your yard is ready for spring.

Absolutely. We provide high-security chain link with privacy slats, anti-climb ornamental iron, and automated gate operators for businesses across Weber and Davis Counties.

In most residential zones in Kaysville and Layton, a permit is not required for a backyard fence up to 6 feet tall. However, if you are on a corner lot or planning a front-yard fence, city “Sight Triangle” ordinances usually limit height to 3 or 4 feet.

The property owner is legally responsible for identifying property pins. If pins are not visible, we highly recommend a professional land survey before installation to avoid costly boundary disputes with neighbors.

Many HOAs in Syracuse and West Point require specific colors (like Tan or Khaki vinyl) or specific materials (like Trex). We recommend getting written HOA approval before we begin the fabrication process.

Yes. Utah building codes generally require pool fences to be at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates. The gap at the bottom cannot exceed 4 inches.

Pricing varies based on material. Generally, Wood/Cedar is the most affordable upfront, followed by Vinyl, then Trex Composite and Ornamental Iron at the higher end. We provide detailed, transparent bids to help you balance your budget with your goals.

Yes, usually within 5 to 7 years. While it has a higher initial cost, you save thousands over the life of the fence by never having to pay for professional staining, sanding, or panel replacements.

We offer a dual warranty: a Manufacturer’s Warranty on the material (which can be lifetime for vinyl) and a Labor Warranty on our installation. We stand behind our work long after the project is complete.

It means we have passed a rigorous background check on our business practices, customer service history, and financial stability. It provides you with a $1,000 Consumer Guarantee and the peace of mind that you are working with a vetted professional.

We frequently have financing partners available to help break large projects into manageable monthly payments. Ask your estimator for current options during your bid.

A standard pedestrian gate is 4 feet wide. If you plan on moving a riding lawnmower or a small trailer into the backyard, we recommend a double-drive gate (8 to 10 feet wide).

Often, yes. We can retro-fit many iron gates with solar or electric gate operators to provide keypad or remote entry for your driveway.

Yes! We offer vinyl and ornamental iron railing systems that meet all Utah safety codes for decks, porches, and balconies.
