Have you noticed that the cost of fencing in Wyoming has increased in the past several months? I bet you have! Price increases on fencing are not limited to Wyoming. This is impacting the entire fence industry. It seems like every day, I am asked by homeowners and business owners alike, about what is going on with the price of fencing. Here is what I am telling them…<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are in the \u201cperfect storm\u201d to cause problems for the fence industry (and just about every other industry).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Obviously, the big culprit is Covid. There is no question that Covid has impacted everything \u2026 so the price of fencing and the supply chain within the fencing industry are certainly no exception. Many manufacturers and suppliers were forced to shut down completely or (at least) severely cut back their operations as a result of Covid mandates in their states.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While Wyoming is open for business, some states still have restrictions. Some of these states have large fence manufacturers, suppliers, and\/or transportation services that just aren\u2019t able to operate at 100% yet.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are also weather-related issues. Texas has had some bad luck with freezing temperatures and hurricanes this past year. A lot of the raw materials used to make vinyl fencing run through Texas at some point. Some of those factories still aren\u2019t operating at their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The price increases of wood fencing in Wyoming are caused by a completely different set of circumstances. Recent dramatic changes to our trade policy with Canada has choked the supply chain of wood! The U.S. imports the vast majority of our wood from Canada. I\u2019m certainly not going to use a blog article to air my political grievances \u2026 but these crazy price increases on wood fencing are a direct result of government trade policies. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat Has Caused Fence Prices in Wyoming to Increase Recently?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Should I Wait to Buy a Fence in Wyoming Until the Prices Come Down?<\/span><\/h2>\n
