Fence Builders Columbus GA | Call Blackmon Fence Company

The combination of high humidity, heat, and occasional storms in Columbus can cause wood pickets to dry out and crack, or become damaged by moisture. For cracked pickets, Blackmon Fence Company offers replacement with matching materials, ensuring the repair blends seamlessly with your existing fence. We typically recommend pressure-treated pine or cedar, which resist our local climate better than untreated wood.

Common signs include the gate dragging on the ground, difficulty latching, or visible gaps between the gate and the post. Yes, we can often repair a sagging gate by replacing the hinges with heavier-duty hardware, adjusting the post, or adding a tension cable. In many cases, this fixes the problem without needing a full replacement, saving you time and money.

We use pressure-treated posts that are rated for ground contact, and we set them in concrete for stability. Additionally, we ensure the concrete slopes away from the post at the top to prevent water pooling. For extra protection near areas like the Chattahoochee River or in low-lying neighborhoods, we can recommend installing a gravel base for better drainage.
