Q&A

What causes fence posts to shift in Monroe’s clay soil?

Monroe’s expansive clay soils swell when wet and shrink in dry periods, which can gradually loosen fence posts. Heavy rainfall common to the region accelerates this movement. Build-A-Fence counters this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line and adding gravel drainage to prevent water pooling around the base.

What are the early signs that my fence is unstable due to soil movement?

Look for gates that stick or don’t latch properly, gaps between fence panels, or posts that feel loose when pushed. You might also notice the top rail sagging or the fence leaning slightly. If you spot these issues near your property line along Roosevelt Boulevard or around Lake Twitty, it’s time to call Build-A-Fence for an inspection.

How does Build-A-Fence solve shifting posts without replacing the entire fence?

We often re-set the affected posts with wider concrete bases and reinforced brackets, then realign the panels. For severe cases, we install new posts with helical anchors that grip deeper into stable soil. This targeted repair saves you money and extends the life of your fence—whether it’s a chain-link or privacy style.
