Bluth Fence Co | Local Fence Installation in Murrells Inlet, SC

The combination of high humidity, salty sea air, and sandy soil accelerates wood rot and rust in our area. Bluth Fence Co prevents this by using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and stainless steel fasteners. We also set posts in concrete with proper drainage to keep moisture away from the wood, extending your fence’s life by years compared to standard installations.

Look for leaning posts, cracked or splintered rails, and rusted hinges or latches. In our coastal climate, you might also notice soft spots near the base of wooden posts or green discoloration from algae. If your gate sags or doesn’t latch properly, it’s a sign the frame or hardware is failing. Bluth Fence Co offers free inspections to catch these issues early before they become costly problems.

For storm-prone areas like Murrells Inlet, we recommend aluminum or heavy-duty vinyl gates because they don’t rust or warp. These materials handle high winds and salt spray much better than wood or steel. We also install self-closing hinges and reinforced latches to keep gates secure during storms. For wooden gates, we use galvanized hardware and marine-grade sealant to add extra protection.
