Residential Fencing Clifton TX | Call AV Fence

High winds in Clifton often catch large panel surfaces like solid privacy fences, creating uplift and lateral pressure. Over time, this can loosen posts, crack rails, or pull fasteners out of the wood. AV Fence recommends using wind-load-rated materials, such as reinforced steel posts and spaced pickets, to reduce wind resistance and prevent blow-downs.

Look for orange-brown stains on hinges, latches, or screws, especially after rain. Rust often starts where moisture collects, like at screw heads or gate pivot points. If you notice flaking metal or difficulty opening/closing a gate, the hardware may be compromised. AV Fence can inspect your fence and replace rust-prone hardware with galvanized or stainless steel options that resist corrosion in Clifton's climate.

AV Fence provides comprehensive repairs for wind-damaged fences, including re-anchoring loose posts, replacing cracked or warped panels, and installing wind-deflection features like lattice tops. For new installations, they recommend setting posts in concrete below the frost line and using heavy-duty brackets. They also offer regular maintenance plans to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.
