Privacy Fence Installation Akron OH | Call Akron Sentry Fence

Akron's frequent freeze-thaw cycles and moisture often cause wooden posts to rot and metal hardware to corrode at ground level, leading to sagging. Our solution is to install galvanized steel posts in concrete. For existing fences, we can reset loose posts using expanding foam or concrete to stabilize the structure.

A sign is if your gate drags on the ground or sticks when opening and closing, often due to warped wood or a settling post after wet weather. We recommend an annual check before November, and we can adjust hinges, replace rusty latches, or replace a damaged post. This keeps your gate working smoothly through the snowy months.

Akron's heavy clay soil expands and contracts, which can push standard posts out of alignment. We recommend using schedule 40 metal posts or composite materials that don't warp. For new fence installations, we dig deeper holes and add gravel for drainage. This prevents leaning and keeps your fence looking straight for years.
