Dandy Fences | Reliable Fence Contractors in Austin, TX

Loose fence panels in Austin are usually caused by the area's frequent high winds and the shifting of clay soil as it expands and contracts. Over time, nails pull loose and posts shift, making panels wobble. Dandy Fences secures loose panels by re-nailing or screwing them into solid wood, reinforcing the connection to the posts, and adjusting the post base if needed to get everything back to level. We match the repair to your existing fence style so it blends right in.

You likely have wind damage if you notice leaning sections, gaps between pickets, cracked or splintered boards, or a gate that won't latch properly anymore. After a big windstorm in Austin, it's common to find whole panels pulled away from the post. If even a few boards are loose, the whole section becomes vulnerable. Dandy Fences can assess the damage and either reinforce the existing structure or replace the damaged sections before the next storm hits.

For wind-damaged sections, the best solution is to replace the damaged pickets and rails, and then reinforce the posts with concrete or gravel to prevent future shifting. In neighborhoods around downtown Austin and the East Side, we often recommend using heavier-gauge nails or screws and adding extra bracing at the corners. Dandy Fences will match the height, style, and wood type so your repaired section looks seamless with the rest of the fence.
