FAQs
What causes fence rail separation in Fairbanks, and how does Bighorn Enterprises fix it?
Fence rail separation in Fairbanks is often caused by extreme temperature swings, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds, which can loosen nails or screws and pull rails apart. Bighorn Enterprises first performs an electric inspection to check for any buried wiring along the fence line, then uses heavy-duty galvanized fasteners and reinforcing brackets to secure rails back into place. For concrete posts, we may also patch or reset the footing to prevent future shifting.
What are the signs that wind has damaged my fence, and when should an electric inspection be done?
Common signs of wind damage include leaning fence sections, separated rails, loose or missing pickets, and gates that no longer latch properly. If your fence is near known underground electrical lines—common near Airport Way or Chena Ridge—we recommend scheduling an electric inspection before any repairs to avoid accidental contact. Bighorn Enterprises can assess the structural damage and recommend either masonry repair for concrete posts or complete rail replacement.
Can Bighorn Enterprises replace just the wind-damaged fence sections, or do I need a full fence tear-out?
For most wind-damaged fence sections in Fairbanks, we can replace only the affected panels, rails, or pickets without tearing down the entire fence. Our team first checks the integrity of the concrete or masonry footings, then makes targeted repairs. If the posts are loose, we can re-pour concrete anchors. We also include an electric inspection if there's any chance the damage affected buried lines—keeping your property safe without unnecessary work.
