A Denver fence contractor that starts with the ground


Payless Fence Company installs, repairs, and replaces fencing across Denver, Colorado. Wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, wrought iron, and composite fences, plus gates and dog, commercial, and pool fencing, all come from one crew — from the first stake to the last picket. We check permit and HOA requirements for your address, dig below the frost line, and set posts in concrete rather than tamping them into loose fill.

What matters most is the ground. Denver sits on expansive bentonite clay, the frost depth runs about 36 inches, and freeze–thaw, high-altitude UV, chinook wind, and hail all work on a fence at once — the 8 May 2017 hailstorm caused $2.3bn in insured damage across the metro. We string line every run so the top rail stays level, brace gates with heavy-duty hardware, and tension chain link so it does not sag by spring. Call (720) 697-2456 and you get a written scope before we dig.

Why Denver homeowners call our fence crews

Fence work is unforgiving. A post set shallow in Denver clay will heave the first hard freeze, and a gate hung on a twisted post will drag by summer. We build for the soil and the seasons here, not for a photo.

  • Posts set below the frost line Denver’s frost depth runs about 36 inches and the ground is expansive bentonite clay, so posts go deep in concrete with drainage at the base. Shallow posts are why so many Denver fences lean after a couple of winters.
  • Permit and HOA checks first Denver requires a zoning permit for fences over 4 ft, and a permit at any height in a historic district or on a designated parkway. Where an HOA applies, its approval comes first. We check both for your address before ordering material.
  • Repair first when repair is honest A leaning post or a sagging gate often needs a new post and hardware, not a whole new fence. Call (720) 697-2456 and we will talk through whether repair or replacement fits your fence.

How a fence project runs

Four steps, in order. You know what happens, and when the old material leaves your property.

01

Call and measure

Call (720) 697-2456 and we walk the property line with you, note sprinkler lines and utility flags, and measure the run. You get a written scope with linear footage and gate count.

02

Permits and layout

If your fence needs a Denver zoning permit, we check the requirements and help with the paperwork before digging. Then we string line the run and mark every post location.

03

Dig and set

Posts go deep in concrete, below the frost line, plumbed and braced. We use an auger or post hole digger depending on the soil, and pack the backfill.

04

Build and clean up

Rails, pickets and gates go on after the concrete cures. We hang gates to clear the ground, tension chain link, and haul the old fence material off site.

Fence problems we fix across Denver

Most fence calls come down to five things: water, frost, rust, rot and wind. Here is how we handle each one, and what it usually takes to put it right.

01

Leaning fence posts after a hard freeze


(Our Fix)Frost heave pushes shallow posts sideways every winter. We pull the post, set it deep in concrete below the frost line, with drainage at the base so water does not sit against the wood.

02

Rusty chain link and sagging fabric


(Our Fix)Galvanized chain link rusts fastest at the bottom rail where it stays wet. We replace the affected sections, re-tension the fabric with a wire tensioner, and reset any terminal post that has pulled loose.

03

Graying, splitting cedar in high-altitude sun


(Our Fix)Colorado sun bleaches cedar in two seasons and dry air splits the end grain. Staining and sealing are maintenance jobs, not install services — our blog has a step-by-step guide for Denver’s dry climate, and a fence that has gone gray can often be cleaned and sealed rather than replaced.

04

Sagging gates that drag on the ground


(Our Fix)Often the hinge post has rotted at the base, not the gate itself. We cut out the post, set a new one in concrete, and re-hang the gate with adjustable hinges and a diagonal brace.

05

Permit and HOA pushback on fence height


(Our Fix)Denver caps residential fences at 4 ft in front of the primary facade and 6 ft behind it, and HOA rules often tighten that further. We check the setback and the rules for your address, and adjust height or material before ordering anything.

What Denver customers say

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Google reviews. Here are four of them, word for word.

“Since these guys are local, I believe in supporting them when possible. First of all note the word ‘local’: I needed a fence, but I got far more than that. The fence itself is extremely well designed and built, and the service was perfect, all the way from first estimate to clean up ... When the next big project comes up, Payless Fence Company LLC is definitely my go-to fence contractor.”

“Ben really listened to our needs and what we were hoping to get out of his work. Payless Fence Company is a hands-on, locally owned company that takes great pride in the quality of their work. They built us a beautiful silver-top privacy fence with a gate in just 2 days. Great experience with Ben and his team. Thank you for building a great fence.”

Fence contractor Denver CO questions

These are the questions we get most on estimates. If yours is not here, call and we will answer it straight.

How much does a fence cost in Denver?
Third-party market guides published Oct–Nov 2026 put cedar privacy at about $23–$56 per linear foot installed, vinyl at $25–$75, chain link at $15–$35, aluminum at $29–$90, iron at $65–$150+, composite at $41–$64, and split rail at $9–$13 (sources: NumeralQ, Angi, Denver Fence Contractors, Recommended.app). Those are market ranges, not our prices. Call (720) 697-2456 to talk through your yard and get a written scope.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Denver?
Denver requires a zoning permit for any fence over 4 ft, and a permit at any height on a landmark, in a historic district, or on a designated parkway. Fences under 4 ft usually need no permit, unless landmark or parkway rules apply. Like-for-like repair of a previously permitted fence usually needs no new permit. We check the rules for your address before building.
How tall can my fence be in Denver?
4 ft in front of the primary street-facing facade and 6 ft behind it. Corner lots have sight-triangle rules, and fences must sit at least 6 inches back from the public sidewalk, never in the public right-of-way. Taller fences are possible through the city’s over-height process.
What makes Denver ground hard on fences?
Expansive bentonite clay that swells and shrinks, a frost depth of about 36 inches, freeze–thaw cycles, high-altitude UV, chinook wind, and hail — the 8 May 2017 storm caused $2.3bn in insured damage across the metro. Posts set shallow in clay heave and lean; posts set deep in concrete hold.
Do I need HOA approval as well as a city permit?
Yes, where an HOA applies — they are two separate approvals, and neither substitutes for the other. In master-planned neighborhoods like Central Park, HOA design review comes first, then the city permit. The city maximum is a ceiling; an HOA can require shorter, or a named color or material.
Do you build pool fences?
Yes — pool fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates. Pool-barrier height rules are not settled in the sources we checked, so we verify the current requirement for your address and permit before building, rather than quoting a height as fact.
