Question Answers

What causes fence fasteners to loosen so often in Mattoon?

In Mattoon, the primary cause is the region's freeze-thaw cycle. Moisture gets into the wood or ground, then expands when it freezes, gradually pushing fasteners out. Over time, this leads to loose nails, screws, or brackets, especially on older fences near Lake Mattoon or in areas with heavy clay soil.

How can I tell if my aging fence system is becoming unsafe?

Look for obvious signs like leaning posts, missing or loose fasteners, rotting wood near the ground, or gates that sag and don't latch properly. If you can wiggle the fence by hand or see gaps where panels meet, it's a sign the system is failing. Coles County Fence can inspect these issues for you.

What's the best solution for an aging fence with loose fasteners in Mattoon?

The best solution depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues, Coles County Fence can replace fasteners with corrosion-resistant screws and reinforce weak joints. For widespread aging, a partial or full replacement with pressure-treated wood or vinyl—which resists our local climate—is often more cost-effective and safer in the long run.
