Professional Fence Installation in St. George, UT 84790 - Brads Fence

In St. George, the main cause of loose or leaning fence posts is the combination of dry, sandy soil and seasonal monsoon rains. The soil can shift and erode around the base of wooden posts, especially if they weren’t set deep enough or with concrete. Brads Fence solves this by removing the old post, digging a deeper hole, setting the new post in concrete below the frost line, and bracing it securely. We also recommend using treated wood or metal posts to resist moisture and sun damage.

Common signs include a gate that drags on the ground, won’t latch properly, or swings open on its own. In St. George, intense heat can warp wood gates, causing them to stick or become misaligned. Brads Fence can adjust hinges and latches, replace worn hardware, or install a new gate that fits perfectly. For metal gates, we look for rust or bent frames. We’ll inspect your gate and recommend the most cost-effective solution to restore smooth operation.

St. George’s intense UV rays and dry heat cause wood to dry out, leading to warping, cracking, and splitting. To prevent this, we recommend using cedar or redwood, which naturally resist moisture and sun damage. Applying a high-quality UV-resistant stain or sealant every two to three years also helps. Brads Fence can install your fence with proper spacing between boards to allow for expansion and airflow, reducing the risk of damage. We also advise keeping vegetation trimmed away from the fence to promote drying after rain.
