AJ Fencing | Trusted Fencing Company in Tenino, WA

Loose fence rails are often caused by moisture swelling wood, frost heave in the soil, or nails that loosen over time due to the freeze-thaw cycle common to Tenino's climate. AJ Fencing tightens or replaces rails using corrosion-resistant screws or galvanized brackets, re-bracing posts where necessary to prevent the issue from returning.

Warped fence boards are typically a result of high humidity and rain, which cause wood grain to expand unevenly. The best solution is to replace warped boards with properly kiln-dried, pressure-treated lumber or consider composite materials that resist moisture. AJ Fencing evaluates each fence to determine if selective board replacement or full panel restoration is more cost-effective for local homeowners.

Look for gaps between pickets, sagging gate hinges, visible rot at the base of posts, or boards that no longer sit flush. Another sign is difficulty opening or closing gates, which often points to shifting posts. AJ Fencing recommends addressing these early signs before they lead to more extensive damage, especially during Tenino's rainy season.
