Bama Fence | Trusted Fence Contractors in Andalusia, AL

In Andalusia, the combination of high humidity, heavy rain, and soil moisture accelerates corrosion on chain link fences, especially where the protective coating is scratched. Bama Fence can inspect the affected areas, treat the rust with a rust converter, and apply a fresh coating. If the corrosion is severe, they recommend replacing the damaged sections with a heavier-gauge, galvanized chain link fence that resists rust better in our local climate.

Yes, it's a common issue here. Our clay-heavy soil becomes saturated after downpours, causing the ground to shift and fence posts to lean. Bama Fence will first assess whether the post is rotted or just loose. The solution often involves pulling the post back to plumb, setting it in a wider hole with a concrete footing that goes below the frost line, and backfilling with gravel for better drainage. This prevents the post from leaning again during the next wet season.

For long-term durability against both leaning and corrosion, Bama Fence often recommends a pressure-treated wood fence with concrete-set posts, or an aluminum fence. Aluminum won't rust and is very low-maintenance. If you prefer chain link, opt for a heavy-gauge galvanized or vinyl-coated version with posts set in concrete. Bama Fence can visit your property, consider your soil type and sun exposure, and recommend the best material that fits your budget and withstands our local weather.
