Cowboy Projects - Huntsville's Expert Fence Installation

High winds from storms and poor footing are the main causes of privacy fence blowouts in our area. The soil in Huntsville can shift with rain, loosening posts. To prevent this, we recommend setting posts in concrete and using heavy-duty brackets at the gate openings. Regular weatherproofing and checking hardware for rust are also key steps.

The earliest signs are small orange or brown spots on hinges, latches, or gate frames, especially near the ground or any welded seams. If you see paint bubbling or flaking on metal components, moisture has already gotten underneath. Catching this early lets us sand, prime, and repaint the affected areas before the rust compromises structural strength.

In most cases we can repair just the damaged section. If the blowout is localized to a few panels and the posts are still solid, we replace only those pieces and reinforce the connecting rails. We'll also check the adjacent posts and hardware for rust. A full replacement is only necessary if the majority of posts are rotted or the framing is beyond repair.
