Caanan Land Tile: Trusted Residential Fencing Serving Wood Village, OR 97060

Yes, this is very common in the Pacific Northwest due to constant moisture. The rot is often a sign that the wood was not properly weatherproofed or that the fence posts were set in concrete without drainage. Our solution involves replacing the rotted sections with pressure-treated or cedar wood, applying a high-quality waterproof sealant, and ensuring the posts are set with gravel at the base for drainage. We also offer fence weatherproofing services to protect the rest of your fence.

Absolutely. The constant rain and temperature swings can cause the metal tracks to rust or the gate hinges to bind. Leaves and debris can also get caught in the track. For a repair, we start by inspecting the tracks, hinges, and motor unit. We'll clean and lubricate moving parts, tighten any loose hardware, and adjust the limit switches. If there's rust, we'll treat it before it spreads. Our manual and automatic gate repair services cover everything from sensor alignment to full hinge replacement.

For Wood Village's damp climate, we usually recommend pressure-treated pine, cedar, or vinyl. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and looks great, while vinyl is virtually maintenance-free and won't rot. We also suggest having the fence panels set slightly above the ground to prevent moisture wicking. Our fence installation service includes proper post-setting with concrete and gravel drainage to ensure longevity. We can also stain or paint the fence to match your home.
