C&G Services - Houston's Professional Residential Fencing

Privacy fence blowouts often occur when high winds from Houston's thunderstorms or hurricanes push against solid fence panels with no gaps. The pressure can cause the panels to detach from the posts or the posts to loosen in the ground. Poor installation, rotted wood, or corroded fasteners also make fences more vulnerable. C&G Services recommends installing wind-resistant designs or using metal brackets to prevent future blowouts.

Look for orange or brown discoloration on hinges, latches, screws, or post brackets. Rust may also cause hardware to become stiff or squeaky when opening gates. In humid Houston, rust can spread quickly if not treated. If you notice flaking metal or difficulty latching, it's time to call C&G Services for an inspection. We can replace rusted hardware with galvanized or stainless steel options that resist corrosion.

After a storm, first check for safety hazards like loose boards or exposed nails. For a blowout, C&G Services typically removes damaged sections, straightens or resets posts, and installs new panels with reinforced brackets. We also add additional support such as wind posts or tension cables. Using pressure-treated wood or durable metal panels can help your fence better handle future Houston weather.
