D&D Fencing & More | Trusted Fence Contractor in Fort Meade, FL

This is a common issue in Fort Meade when strong winds channel debris straight into fence panels. The impact force can pop the panels right out of their tracks or break the nails holding them. At D&D Fencing & More, we can often replace just the blown-out panels rather than the whole fence. We’ll also check the surrounding posts and rails. If they are loose or rotted, we’ll reinforce them to better resist future storm damage.

Yes, a sagging gate is a classic sign that the impact either bent the hinges or twisted the gate frame. Sometimes the post itself gets knocked out of plumb. We inspect the whole gate system. Our fix often involves replacing damaged hinges, straightening or replacing the gate, and resetting the post in concrete for a stronger hold. We make sure the gate swings smoothly and stays aligned even in high winds.

Great question—prevention saves headaches later. Our recommendation for Fort Meade properties is to install fences with thicker-gauge panels and use through-bolts instead of just nails or staples to attach them. We also set posts deeper and use galvanized brackets to secure panels to the rails. If you’re putting up a new privacy fence, we can suggest designs with wind breaks or spacing between boards that reduce wind load. For existing fences, we can retrofit these reinforcements to give your fence a fighting chance against local storms.
