Bogue Sound Fencing | Professional Residential Fencing in Morehead City, NC

The high humidity and salt air from Bogue Sound cause moisture to get trapped under paint, leading to peeling and blistering. This is especially common on wood fences near the waterfront or in neighborhoods like Harbour Pointe. Our solution is to properly prepare the surface, use marine-grade primer and paint, and apply a weatherproofing sealant. We also recommend annual inspections to catch early signs of moisture damage.

Sagging gates are often caused by the weight of the wood combined with moisture swelling the frame, or by loose hinges and posts that have shifted in sandy soil. In Morehead City, the salty air can also corrode hardware over time. We can repair the gate by reinforcing the frame, replacing rusted hinges, and resetting the post in concrete. If the wood is too rotted, we'll recommend a replacement using pressure-treated or composite materials.

Strong winds from nor'easters and hurricanes can easily topple a fence that isn't properly anchored. We install fences with deeper-set posts (at least 2.5 feet) in concrete, and use galvanized or stainless steel hardware to resist rust. For extra protection, we recommend a wind-resistant design with spaced pickets to let wind pass through. We also offer weatherproofing treatments that seal the wood against moisture, reducing the risk of rot and warping.
