Question Answers
What causes fence posts to rot quickly in Greeneville, and how can I prevent it?
Greeneville’s hot, humid summers and frequent rain create perfect conditions for wood rot, especially if posts are set directly in soil. Custom Fence & More recommends using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and installing a gravel base around each post to improve drainage. For existing fences, we can replace rotted posts with concrete-set sleeves that keep wood above the moisture line, extending your fence’s life by years.
My gate is dragging and won’t latch properly—what are the signs of a deeper problem?
A sagging or misaligned gate often signals that the hinge post has shifted or the gate frame has warped due to Greeneville’s freeze-thaw cycles. You might also notice cracks in the wood or rusted hardware. Our team assesses the entire gate system: we check post stability, replace worn hinges, and add a tension cable if needed. In many cases, simple adjustments restore smooth operation, but we’ll advise if a full replacement is more cost-effective.
Can you repair storm-damaged fence sections without replacing the whole fence?
Absolutely. After a Greeneville thunderstorm or wind event, we often see broken pickets, loose rails, or panels that have blown out. Custom Fence & More will match the existing style and material (wood, vinyl, or chain link) to replace only the damaged sections. We also reinforce connections with extra screws and brackets to improve wind resistance. This saves you money and keeps your fence looking consistent with the original installation.
