Privacy Fence Installation Cary NC | Call Angier Fence Construction

The main cause is our local soil conditions, which can expand and contract with seasonal moisture changes. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter and heavy rains from storms like nor'easters can loosen the soil around posts. Poor initial installation, such as shallow post holes or insufficient concrete, also leads to leaning. Signs include visible tilting, gaps between panels, or difficulty opening gates. Angier Fence Construction addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and using proper drainage techniques to keep your fence stable year-round.

After a storm, check for cracked or split boards, loose nails or screws, and sections that have shifted out of alignment. Look for posts that feel wobbly when pushed, or gates that drag on the ground. If you see gaps under the fence or sagging panels, these are signs that the structural integrity is compromised. Ignoring these issues can lead to further damage. Angier Fence Construction offers thorough inspections and can repair storm-damaged sections quickly, restoring your fence's strength and appearance.

Sagging often results from weak or rotting posts, or from panels that were not properly braced. The best solution is to replace the affected posts with pressure-treated wood or steel posts set in concrete, ensuring they are deep enough to resist soil movement. For gates, installing a tension cable or a stronger hinge system can prevent sagging. Angier Fence Construction uses heavy-duty hardware and durable materials tailored to local conditions, so your fence stays straight and functional for years.
