Windbreak Fencing Billings, MT

Site Evaluation

The first step our Billings fence contractors take is a thorough evaluation of your property to understand your wind problems. We study the property layout, landscaping, exposure to prevailing winds, and areas in need of wind protection. Our team pays attention to obstacles, utilities, property lines, soil conditions, and local zoning laws that impact fencing placement.

You can point out areas most affected by wind, such as patios susceptible to gusts or gardens needing shelter. Let us know your goals, like screening an unsightly view or blocking highway noise. Tell us about problematic winds calming outdoor enjoyment or causing service interruptions.

Sharing this information allows our fence company to gain a complete understanding of your wind issues. Our site assessment charts the best locations for strategic windbreaks to solve those problems.

Custom Design

Armed with knowledge from the site evaluation, we create a specialized windbreak fence design tailored to your property’s unique needs.

There are many wind barrier styles and materials to choose from. Solid wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link with privacy slats, and masonry are all options. Fence heights typically range from 6 to 8 feet for effective wind protection. We select the ideal fence material and specifications to match the wind-blocking performance you require.

Along with function, we focus on aesthetics. Our design expertise blends your new windbreak attractively into the architecture and surroundings. We sketch virtual designs so you can visualize how the fence will look before work begins. This allows refinements to the plan until you are 100% satisfied.

You also decide if your wind barrier will be a simple fence line or an enclosure forming a sheltered courtyard. For larger properties, we design a series of smaller windbreaks instead of a single massive wall. This strategic placement blocks wind while maintaining an open, natural feel.

Permitting

Next, our team handles the permitting process required by Billings and Yellowstone County. We provide all necessary drawings, documents, fees and manage approvals by local zoning departments. Our experience facilitates quick permit issue so your windbreak installation isn’t delayed.

Preparation

Before fence construction begins, we prepare the site to ensure smooth installation and long-term stability. Activities include:

• Marking the precise fence line for excavation
• Clearing and leveling the installation area
• Scheduling underground utility location services
• Arranging for equipment and material delivery

Proper planning prevents unexpected situations from arising when the crew arrives to build your wind barrier.

Installation

With the prep work complete, our highly trained fence construction team gets to work. We take great care installing your windbreak fence according to the engineering design and permit requirements. Excellence at every phase ensures your fence achieves the sturdy wind-blocking performance anticipated.

Fence footings are dug to specified depth and filled with concrete for a permanent foundation. We use quality building materials and advanced techniques for framing, infill panel installation, and gates. The fence is checked at multiple stages to verify wind-load resistance and to correct any flaws.

For masonry windbreaks, our trusted partners handle the stonework expertly. We oversee their work to guarantee you receive a beautifully built wind barrier free of defects.

Inspection and Approval

Upon completion, we schedule an inspection by the local building department. They examine the windbreak fence to confirm it is structurally sound and meets safety standards. Only after the inspector approves the wind barrier can we officially turn your project over to you.

We also walk the property with you to point out the fence’s wind-blocking effects in different zones. You can inspect the windbreak for any last adjustments required. Our crew will happily make modifications until you are 100% satisfied.

With over a decade of experience, our fence company delivers expertise at every step to construct wind barriers that meet your needs perfectly. Contact us to get started on designing the ideal windbreak fence for your Billings, Montana property!
