Bridges Fencing: Expert Fencing Company Serving Atlanta, GA 30303

The primary cause is Atlanta's humidity combined with frequent rainfall and occasional salt from road treatments. Over time, moisture penetrates the galvanized coating, leading to rust, especially at joints and near the ground. If left untreated, corrosion can weaken the fence structure and cause safety hazards.

Leaning posts often result from saturated soil losing its grip around the concrete footing. We start by assessing the post and soil conditions. If the post is still sound, we re-dig the hole, adjust the post back to vertical, and set it with fresh concrete in a wider base. For severely compromised posts, we recommend replacing the post with a treated wood or steel alternative, anchoring it deeper for better stability.

Yes, in most cases. We can cut out the corroded or damaged section, replace it with matching mesh, and reconnect it to existing rails and posts. This is a cost-effective solution that extends the life of your fence. However, if multiple sections show significant rust or structural weakness, a full replacement may be more economical in the long run.
