Here is a searchable online version of the Weld County Colorado Code. I did not find any reference to 'wind load' or 'wind impact load' -- but that does not mean that it is not there.

What it's worth, I did see a reference for a 30 pound wind load in the code for another Colorado locality.

If you cannot the needed reference -- you can contact the:

Weld County Building Inspection Department at: 1-970-353-6100 ext. 3521.

Click above Link(s) (if any) for additional information.

Let me know if you need more input. If not, thanks for the opportunity to assist you... Please honor my efforts by Clicking the green 'Accept' button (located within this post -- above-right). Adding a bonus -- should you wish to do so -- would be warmly welcomed.

Good Luck!

Thank you for replying.

As it turns out, the reference I saw to a 30 pound wind load (in the Fort Collins Colorado land-use code) turned out to be related to signs -- not fences [See: 3.8.7(O) (2)]. My apologies.

My search of the Colorado Revised Statutes found no reference to Wind Load as it applies to Fences. What is more, construction in Colorado is not regulated at the state level -- with the exception of electrical and plumbing.

Which, as far as I can tell, pretty much leaves you with contacting Weld County.

Weld County Building Inspection Department at: 1-970-353-6100 ext. 3521.

Is there some reason why contacting the county is not an option?
