How Composite Fence Installation in Salt Lake City Works
From first visit to final walk, a composite install follows these steps:
- Walk and measure the fence line on site.
- Confirm height limits: generally 4 feet in front yards, 6 feet at sides and rear.
- Get the city's fence permit before work starts.
- Request Blue Stakes 811 marks at least three business days before digging.
- Set posts two feet deep in concrete, with gate posts deeper.
- Check each post plumb, level each frame, then install panels and gates.
- Walk the finished line together: plumb, level, square, site cleared.
Composite Suits Salt Lake City Yards That Want the Wood Look Without Rot

Know the Tradeoffs Before You Choose Composite
If you're weighing composite against vinyl in Salt Lake City, know this first. Composite color softens slowly in strong sun, most on runs that face it all day. High-altitude sun hits south- and west-facing lines hardest. In exchange, there's no rot and nothing to peel. Pick your color from a sample held up in your own yard, not from a photo.

Handle Permits, Height Limits, and Utility Marks Before Digging
Salt Lake City requires a fence permit from Building Services. Fences are generally capped at 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet at sides and rear. Blue Stakes 811 locate requests are free and go in at least three business days before digging. In local historic districts like Yalecrest, a fence also needs a Minor Alteration application. The city's design guidelines there favor see-through fences facing the street.

We Set Posts in Concrete and Hang Composite Panels Level, Even on Slopes
For Salt Lake City yards with slopes, long runs, or gates, the posts decide how straight the fence stays. Ours go two feet deep in concrete, and gate posts go deeper. Every post is checked plumb, and every frame is leveled section by section. On hillside lots like those in the Avenues, the panels step down the slope.

Any old fence is hauled off and the site is cleared. It's also the time to confirm the height meets Salt Lake City's limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you install composite fencing? +
We walk and measure the line, then the permit and Blue Stakes 811 utility marks come before any digging. Posts go two feet deep in concrete and get checked plumb. Frames are leveled section by section, and the job ends with a walk-through before final payment.
How do you install composite fence posts? +
Ours go two feet deep in concrete, and each one is checked plumb before the concrete sets. Gate posts go deeper. On aluminum-framed systems like Avimore, the posts themselves are aluminum.
How do you install composite fence panels? +
On systems like Avimore, tongue-and-groove slats slide into aluminum posts and rails. That only works if the frame is level, so we level each frame section by section.
How do you install composite fencing on a slope? +
The panels step down the grade in sections, so the fence follows the yard. Posts still go two feet deep in concrete at every step. In the Avenues local historic district, a new fence also needs a Minor Alteration application.
Is composite fencing easy to install? +
The slats are the simple part, since systems like Avimore are built to slide into the frame. The skilled part is the posts. In Salt Lake City, freeze-thaw works on them every winter, so ours go two feet deep in concrete.
Are composite fences better than wood? +
For upkeep, yes. Composite won't rot or peel, and systems like Trex Fencing need no staining. Wood still wins if you want to restain it a new color later.
