Fence and Deck Resources for Utah Homeowners

Practical guides for your next fence, deck, or pergola project.

Straight answers on materials, installation, and maintenance from a team that has supplied Utah backyards since 1989.

What You'll Find on Our Fence and Deck Blog

This blog is built for anyone planning an outdoor project along the Wasatch Front, from Salt Lake City to Park City and Heber City. Whether you're weighing a cedar fence installation against a low-maintenance vinyl fence installation, or trying to decide between Trex composite decking and TimberTech composite decking, you'll find plain-language breakdowns here before you ever set foot in one of our showrooms.

We write about the questions homeowners, first-time DIYers, and working contractors ask most at the counter, including:

New posts go up regularly as we add product lines like Quantum Fence, Avimore Fence, and rail fence installation, and as we answer the fencing supplies and decking supplies questions we hear most often. If there's a topic you'd like covered, our team is happy to talk it through in person or over the phone.

  • Wood fence installation versus steel fence installation, and where an ornamental steel fencing or molded fence (SimTek) option fits a Utah yard
  • What a deck drainage system protects, and when RainEscape belongs in your deck construction plan
  • Helical pier installation versus ground screw installation for a stable deck foundation
  • Aluminum deck framing and steel deck framing compared, plus deck wrap installation for a finished look
  • Planning a pergola installation, whether it's a wood pergola, aluminum pergola, fiberglass pergola, or Trex pergola, that holds up through Utah's snow load and summer sun
  • Seasonal maintenance for composite decking installation, Fiberon composite decking, and Deckorators composite decking
