Fence Installation Phoenix AZ | Call Bouts To Fence

The extreme heat and low humidity in Phoenix cause wood to dry out and shrink, leading to cracks and splits. Over time, the intense sun also weakens the wood fibers. Bouts To Fence recommends using pressure-treated or desert-hardened wood and applying UV-protective sealants to prevent cracking. We also advise setting posts in concrete to minimize movement.

Look for rust spots, usually starting near the ground or where the fence meets a metal post. You might also notice a reddish-orange powder or flaking metal. In Phoenix, corrosion often begins due to the combination of moisture from monsoon rains and dry, abrasive dust. Early detection is key—we offer professional inspections and can apply rust-inhibiting coatings to extend the fence's life.

We first assess the extent of the damage. For minor cracks, we inject epoxy wood filler and reinforce with mounting brackets. For severely cracked posts, we replace them entirely with weather-resistant materials like treated lumber or metal. After repair, we recommend staining and weatherproofing to protect against future sun damage. Our team ensures the repair blends seamlessly with your existing fence.
