Q&A
Why do my fence posts keep leaning after a Webster winter?
Webster’s freeze-thaw cycles are especially hard on fence posts. When water in the soil freezes and expands, it can push posts upward and out of alignment. Our solution at Day Enterprises is to set posts below the frost line with concrete footings that extend down 36 to 48 inches. This prevents frost heave and keeps your fence straight year after year.
What type of gate works best for access to a field or pasture in Webster?
For farm and pasture gates near Webster, we recommend heavy-duty tubular steel gates with a galvanized finish. These withstand rust from meltwater and snowplow splashes on roads like Thompson Road. We also install self-closing hinges that keep livestock safe, even if someone forgets to latch the gate behind them.
My fence is rotting near the ground. Can you repair just the damaged sections?
Yes, we can often replace only the damaged pickets and rails without rebuilding the entire fence. However, if the posts are rotted below the soil line—a common issue in Webster’s damp, clay-heavy soil—we recommend replacing them with pressure-treated posts set in gravel for better drainage. This local approach extends the life of your fence significantly.
