Superior Fence & Rail Answers The Question; Can You Install A Fence In The Winter?

Although winter can affect ground temperatures and freeze lines, in most cases, yes, we can install the fence you want during the winter months. Read on to learn the innovative ways we can satisfy our valued customers with the fence they want now instead of later. Many of our winter fence installation techniques are sure to surprise you!

How Is Superior Fence & Rail Able To Install Fences In The Winter?

Our Superior Fence & Rail locations that experience extreme wintry weather can still install fences in the winter. This includes our locations up into Minnesota, whose annual average snowfall is around 54 inches and the lowest average temperature is 15 degrees or less.

The truth of the matter is that even in these extremely cold conditions, we don’t do anything terribly different for fence installation in the winter. Our team primarily utilizes post-hole diggers instead of augers, but we often use a shovel or spade in the winter. We may also use a jackhammer when the ground is frozen. We carry these light-duty jackhammers on our trucks daily to deal with potential frost and freeze issues. Installation crews also pack extra shovels to clear the fence line and ensure our auger tips are new and/or maintained. In addition, our installers will sometimes switch to a clay tip for the augers. The teams have propane rose buds available if we need to warm the ground or equipment for any reason.

Wintry Weather Is Fun To Play In, But Is It Conducive To Fence Installation?

The main concern of winter weather on fence installation is dealing with the challenge of ground temperatures. While the top layer of soil might be frozen, our installers can still dig deep enough to set fence posts securely, often using special concrete additives to ensure proper curing in extreme cold temperatures. Working with a professional fence installation company, such as Superior Fence & Rail, is highly recommended when installing a fence in the winter to ensure the job is done correctly.
