The Best Fence Types for Grand Junction, Colorado Homes

A Grand Junction fencing company breaks down the best fence types for Western Slope wind, sun, and soil — wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and split rail.

Not every fence works on the Western Slope. As a fence company in Grand Junction, CO, here's how we rank the most common materials for our climate.

Wood privacy fences

Best for backyard privacy. Cedar handles UV better than pine. Expect 15–25 years with proper sealing. See our wood privacy fence installation.

Vinyl fences

Best for low maintenance. Never needs paint or stain. Modern UV-stabilized vinyl holds up to Grand Junction sun. See vinyl fence installation.

Aluminum and wrought iron

Best for pool fencing, front yards, and curb appeal. Won't rust like steel. Aluminum fences | Wrought iron fences.

Chain link

Best for budget perimeters, dog runs, and commercial sites. See chain link installation.

Split rail and ranch fencing

Best for acreage in Fruita, Loma, and rural Mesa County. See ranch & split rail.
