Q&A

How does DF Fence Company of Kent handle frost heave and weather damage common in Kent?

We set fence posts below the frost line (typically 36-48 inches deep) and use concrete collars to minimize shifting. For wood fences, we apply weatherproofing sealants to prevent rot, and we recommend vinyl or aluminum for areas prone to moisture. If a post has already heaved, we can reset it and reinforce the footing.

What types of fences do you install for residential properties near Kent State University?

We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fences. For homes near campus, we often suggest privacy fences (wood or vinyl) to reduce noise, or ornamental aluminum for a clean look. We also install automatic gates for driveways and pedestrian gates.

Can you repair an automatic gate that stops working in winter?

Yes. We repair automatic gate openers, sensors, and tracks. Cold weather can cause battery issues or ice buildup on tracks. We inspect the system, replace worn parts, and adjust settings to handle Kent’s winter conditions.
