Climate Considerations in Idaho

Four distinct seasons: All-weather material planning needed. Cold winters: Frost heave; ground work timing. Hot, dry summers: Concrete curing needs attention. Mountain snow: Higher elevations need snow load design. Wildfire risk: Fire-resistant materials in interface areas. Desert climate (south): UV degradation faster. Recommended fence materials: Cedar performs excellently in ID climate; Vinyl popular in new construction; Metal posts recommended for freeze-thaw.
