Questions and Answers
How can I prevent my wooden fence from rotting in Wells' salty coastal air?
Salt air and moisture near the coast can accelerate wood rot. Armstrong Fence recommends using naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar or pressure-treated pine, and applying a high-quality sealant. We also install fences with proper spacing to allow airflow and reduce moisture buildup. If your existing fence is failing, we can replace damaged sections or recommend a low-maintenance material like vinyl or aluminum.
My gate keeps sagging after the ground freezes and thaws in Wells. What's the solution?
Frost heave is a common issue in Maine winters that can shift gate posts. The solution is to install deeper, concrete-set posts below the frost line (typically 4 feet or more) and use heavy-duty hinges. Armstrong Fence can also add a truss rod or an anti-sag kit to reinforce the gate. If your posts are already shifting, we can reset them properly to prevent future problems.
What type of fence holds up best against high winds near the beach in Wells?
For properties near Wells Beach, where wind loads are high, we often recommend aluminum or chain-link fencing. These materials are strong and allow wind to pass through, reducing stress on the structure. For privacy fences, we install closely spaced rails and use thicker posts with reinforced concrete footings to handle gusty conditions. Armstrong Fence can assess your specific exposure and suggest the best design.
