Aline Fence Company - Jackson's Trusted Fencing Company

Strong straight-line winds and heavy rain common during spring storms in Jackson can loosen gate hinges and shift gateposts in moist soil. The added weight of a waterlogged wood or hollow metal gate then pulls the gate off level. This is a frequent local issue we see, especially on older installations without proper post anchors or heavy-duty hinges.

Look for leaning top rails, loose tension bands, or sagging fabric—common signs after a wind event in West Tennessee. Check if the posts have loosened in the ground or if concrete footings have cracked near the base. If you see any of these issues, call us before the next storm hits.

For privacy fences in that part of Jackson, we recommend replacing rotted or split bottom boards with pressure-treated wood or vinyl. We also set posts deeper into concrete with gravel footings to improve drainage and stability. For gates, we install heavy-duty hinges and anti-sag kits to help them hold up against high winds and saturated ground.
