Artistic Fence & Construction | Professional Fence Builders in Cornelius, OR

The wet winters and clay-heavy soil in Cornelius trap moisture against wooden posts, causing them to rot from the ground up. Our solution is to use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and to set posts in gravel for drainage rather than concrete alone. We also seal the cut ends to block moisture entry. This extends the fence life significantly compared to standard installations.

A sagging gate usually means the hinges are pulling away from the post, the gate frame is twisted, or the post itself has shifted. We start by checking if the post is still solid. Often we can reinforce the hinges with longer screws, add a diagonal tension rod, or replace just the gate frame. If the post is rotted, we can repair that section without tearing down good fence panels. We always give you the most cost-effective option first.

Corner lots face constant wind, road salt spray in winter, and visibility concerns. For homes near Main Street or intersections like N 26th Avenue, we recommend a vinyl or aluminum fence. Vinyl won't rust or rot, and it's easy to wash off grime. Aluminum offers a classic look with no maintenance. Both materials are strong enough to handle wind gusts and still provide a clear sightline for safety. We also set posts deeper on corner lots for added stability.
