Christensen Coastal Construction - Seaside's Expert Fencing Company

Seaside’s constant salt spray, moisture, and strong winds accelerate wood rot, rust on metal hardware, and soil erosion around posts. Sand and salt can also degrade paint and stain finishes quickly. Christensen Coastal Construction recommends using pressure-treated lumber, stainless steel fasteners, and proper post-setting techniques to combat these coastal conditions.

Look for widespread rot at ground level, leaning sections that won’t straighten, rusted or broken hinges, and loose pickets that can’t be tightened. If more than 30% of your fence is compromised, replacement is often more cost-effective. Our team can inspect your property and provide a straightforward assessment based on Seaside’s specific weather exposure.

For homes close to the Promenade or the Cove, we recommend vinyl or aluminum fencing because they resist salt corrosion and won’t warp. If you prefer wood, choose cedar or pressure-treated pine with a marine-grade sealant. Christensen Coastal Construction installs all these options and can help match your neighborhood’s aesthetic while maximizing longevity.
