Daishaun Fencing - Cleveland's Reliable Fencing Company

Cleveland’s freeze-thaw cycles and wet lake-effect snow cause wood to absorb moisture, then expand and contract repeatedly. This leads to rot, warping, and cracking. Daishaun Fencing addresses this by using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods and applying a high-quality waterproofing sealant during installation. They also recommend annual weatherproofing treatments and proper post drainage to keep wooden fences stable longer.

Sagging gates in Cleveland are often the result of soil heaving from frost, loose hinges, or a weakened post. The repeated freezing and thawing can shift the gate’s alignment. Daishaun Fencing can repair or replace sagging gates by reinforcing the post with a concrete base below the frost line, adjusting the hinges, and checking the latch mechanism. If the gate is old, they can install a heavier-duty hinge system or replace it entirely.

Lake Erie’s humid conditions and road salt in winter accelerate rust on metal fences. Daishaun Fencing recommends a rust-inhibitive primer and marine-grade paint or powder coating for new installations. For existing fences, they strip loose rust, treat with a converter, and apply a weatherproof topcoat. Regular inspections and touch-ups after winter help prevent widespread corrosion in neighborhoods like the Flats or Gordon Square.
