Wisconsin Winter Considerations
Wisconsin winters are tough on wood fencing. We ensure proper drainage to prevent ice damage, high-quality sealants to protect against moisture, deep concrete footings (42-48 inches) to handle frost heave, and appropriate wood species selection for our local climate.
