Amen Fencing And Remodeling | Reliable Fence Contractors in Ferris, TX

The primary cause is the expansive clay soil common in Ferris. When the soil gets wet, it swells; when dry, it shrinks. This movement shifts the posts, causing them to lean or loosen over time. Poor initial installation without proper concrete footings can make the problem worse.

Look for deep rust that has eaten through the metal, large cracks in wrought-iron welds, or sections that are bent out of shape. If the damage is localized, we can often weld or replace individual pieces. But if the entire fence is compromised, a full replacement may be more cost-effective.

The most reliable fix is to remove the loose post, dig a wider hole below the frost line, and set the post in a concrete footer that extends above ground level. This prevents direct soil contact and reduces movement. We also recommend using galvanized or treated wood posts to resist moisture.
