Andy's Fencing - East Flat Rock's Experienced Privacy Fence Installation

The main cause is soil movement. East Flat Rock has a lot of clay and loam, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This shifting can loosen fence posts over time, causing them to lean. For gates, the ground can settle unevenly, making the gate sag or stick against the latch. Andy's Fencing uses deep-set posts with concrete footings to anchor fences securely against this local soil condition.

Look for visible leaning, gaps between the fence and the ground, or a gate that drags or won't latch properly. You might also notice that the fence panels are pulling away from the posts. If you see these signs, especially after a heavy rain, it's a good idea to call Andy's Fencing. They can assess the damage and reinforce the posts before the problem gets worse.

First, they'll check if the gate post is still plumb and the hinges are aligned. Often, the solution is to reset the gate post deeper into the ground with fresh concrete, or adjust the hinges. If the gate is sagging due to its own weight, they can add a tension cable or replace the hinges with heavier-duty ones. Andy's Fencing ensures the gate swings freely and latches securely, no matter the weather.
