Fence Contractors Florence AL | Call Barrel Fencing and Gates

After heavy rain, the soil in Florence can become saturated and lose its grip around fence posts, especially if the posts were not set deep enough or if the ground contains a lot of clay. This loosening causes the posts to tilt over time. Barrel Fencing and Gates addresses this by resetting posts with concrete or gravel footings, and by installing new posts that are deep enough to resist shifting, even after storms near Wilson Park or the Tennessee River.

A common sign of impending failure is when the gate struggles to latch fully, makes unusual grinding noises, or doesn’t respond to the remote as quickly as before. In Florence’s humid climate, corrosion can also build up on the lock. If you notice these symptoms, call Barrel Fencing and Gates. We can inspect and repair or replace the mechanism, weatherproof the gate, and ensure everything works smoothly again.

Yes, in most cases we can straighten leaning posts without replacing the whole fence. Our team will remove the soil around the post, reposition it vertically, and secure it with new concrete or a gravel base. We then seal the wood to prevent future moisture damage. This is a common repair for homes near Cox Creek Parkway, where heavy rain often causes post movement.
