Common Questions
Why do wooden fences rot so quickly in Athens, MI, and what can be done about it?
The freeze-thaw cycles and high moisture from snowmelt and spring rains cause wood to absorb water, leading to rot and decay. At Arline Fence, we combat this by using pressure-treated lumber and applying high-quality weatherproofing sealants. We also recommend annual maintenance, such as staining or painting, to extend your fence's life.
What are the signs that my gate needs repair, and how can you fix it?
Common signs include a sagging gate, difficulty latching, or dragging on the ground. These often happen due to heavy snow loading or loose hinges. Arline Fence can realign the posts, replace worn hardware, and reinforce the frame. For automated gates, we also check the motor and track alignment.
Can you install an automatic gate that survives the Athens winters?
Yes. We install automatic gates designed for cold climates, with weather-resistant motors and corrosion-proof tracks. Our team ensures proper drainage around the gate base to prevent ice buildup. We also offer a seasonal maintenance check to keep the mechanism running smoothly all year.
