Local Privacy Fence Installation in Boerne, TX 78006 - Barnett Gates

In Boerne, sudden gusts and soft limestone soils often cause privacy fence panels to act like sails. When wind catches a solid panel, the strain can pull the posts out of alignment or snap the rails. To prevent blowouts, Barnett Gates recommends using spaced pickets or wind-barrier mesh under solid panels, and setting posts in concrete below the frost line in your specific soil type. We also install additional bracing on gates and corners to distribute wind loads.

Native plants like honeysuckle, poison ivy, and oak saplings grow aggressively along fences in Boerne. They wrap around pickets, lift wire mesh, and trap moisture against wood. Over time, roots push into post holes and widen the gap, causing leaning. Call Barnett Gates when you see vines covering more than a third of the fence or notice any post starting to shift. Early removal of vegetation and replacement of rotted sections can save the rest of the fence.

Often, yes. If the post is still solid and rotted only at the base, we can dig down, break away the old concrete collar, and reset the post with fresh concrete and gravel drainage. This is common near Cibolo Creek where the soil stays damp. For posts that are too far gone, we replace just that section and tie it into the existing panels, so you don’t lose the entire run. We always check the adjoining posts so the problem doesn’t just move down the line.
