Professional Commercial Fencing in Fort Smith, AR 72916 - Affordable Fence

In Fort Smith, fence post rot is primarily caused by constant moisture from rain and humid conditions, combined with clay soil that holds water against the wood. You might notice the base of the post feeling soft or spongy, visible mold or mildew, or the fence leaning slightly. If you see these signs, it’s best to have a professional assess the post before the damage spreads to the rest of the fence.

Yes, in most cases we can repair just the affected post. Our process involves removing the damaged post, setting a new one in concrete with proper drainage, and weatherproofing it. We also inspect the surrounding posts and panels to ensure the repair lasts. This saves you from having to replace the entire fence line.

For new fences in Fort Smith, we recommend using pressure-treated wood and applying a high-quality water-repellent stain or sealer. During installation, we also set posts in gravel at the base of the hole to improve drainage away from the wood. For existing fences, we offer weatherproofing services that include cleaning, sanding, and applying a protective coat to prevent moisture damage.
