Common Questions
What causes fence post rot, and how can I prevent it?
Fence post rot typically occurs when wood absorbs moisture, especially at ground level, and is exposed to fungi or insects. To prevent rot, use pressure-treated lumber set in gravel or concrete for drainage. In Manteno's humid summers and snowy winters, elevating the wood with a concrete collar can extend post life significantly.
What are the signs of frost heave in fence posts?
Frost heave happens when soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. Look for leaning posts, cracked concrete at the base, or gate misalignment after a thaw. In Manteno, this is common after severe winters. Early detection prevents damage to panels and hardware.
How do you fix a fence post that has shifted due to frost heave?
We usually remove the loose post and dig deeper than the frost line (about 36 inches in Manteno). We then reset it using a gravel base for drainage and concrete for stability. This anchors the post against future heaving, keeping your fence level and secure.
