Q&A
What causes fence post instability in Brownsville, and how does Cantu Fence fix it?
Soil movement, especially from Brownsville's clay-based soils expanding and contracting with moisture, often causes fence posts to loosen and lean. Cantu Fence resolves this by removing the unstable post, digging to a deeper frost-free depth suitable for our area, and setting the new post in a concrete collar. This method anchors the post securely, countering the soil shifts common in neighborhoods near Palm Valley or downtown.
How do you prevent privacy fence blowouts during Brownsville windstorms?
Privacy fence blowouts usually happen when wind forces the entire panel to act like a sail. Cantu Fence reinforces blowout-prone areas by using thicker gauge pressure-treated wood, adding extra vertical support posts, and using heavier-duty brackets. We also ensure proper spacing between pickets to reduce wind load, a solution well-tested in exposed areas around the Brownsville Events Center.
What’s the first sign my fence needs repair before it collapses?
A leaning or wobbly section, noticeable gaps at the bottom of the fence where posts meet the ground, or cracks in the wood near the base are early signs. You might also see the fence top deviating from level. If you spot these, call Cantu Fence for an inspection before soil movement or wind risk causes a complete blowout.
