Q&A

Why might my wooden fence posts rot or lean so quickly in Marlborough?

Marlborough's climate includes heavy snow, rain, and repeated freezing and thawing. This moisture can cause untreated wood posts to rot, while frost heave shifts them out of alignment. Baker Fence solves this by installing pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar, setting posts in gravel for drainage, and using concrete footings below the frost line to prevent shifting.

What are the common signs that my metal fence posts are rusting or failing?

Look for orange-brown rust stains, flaking paint, a wobbly fence section, or a gate that drags or won't close properly. In Marlborough's wet winters, road salt spray can accelerate rust on metal posts near driveways or sidewalks. Baker Fence can inspect your fence, replace corroded posts with galvanized or aluminum options, and apply rust-resistant coatings to extend its life.

How can I fix a sagging gate that won't close properly due to frost heave?

A sagging gate is often caused by a fence post that has lifted or tilted after freezing ground pushes it up. First, check if the post is loose. Baker Fence can reset the post with deeper concrete footings and reinforce the gate frame with heavier hinges or a tension cable. This keeps your gate swinging freely year-round, even after a harsh Marlborough winter.
