Fence Installation Moody AL | Call Dunbar’s Fencing & Construction

You may notice your fence leaning to one side, gaps forming at the base of posts, or wooden posts that feel spongy or rotted near the ground. On chain link fences, look for rust or flaking near the bottom of the posts. In Moody’s clay soil, water often pools around fence posts after heavy rain, accelerating erosion. If you see any of these signs, call Dunbar’s Fencing & Construction for an inspection. We can replace or reinforce the posts using proper drainage solutions, such as gravel footings or concrete bases that divert water away from the wood or metal.

Yes. Chain link fences in Moody are especially prone to surface rust and corrosion due to high humidity and occasional moisture from nearby lakes or creeks. Dunbar’s Fencing & Construction offers fence repair that includes removing rust with a wire brush, applying a rust-inhibiting primer, and repainting or coating the metal with a weatherproof finish. For severe corrosion, we can replace sections of chain link or even upgrade you to a more durable, galvanized fence that resists rust better in local conditions. We also offer weatherproofing services to help prevent future damage from Moody's humid climate.

When we install a fence in Moody, we start by assessing the drainage on your property. To fight post erosion, we dig post holes deeper than standard and add a gravel base at the bottom to improve water drainage. Then we set the posts in concrete, but we slope the concrete away from the post so water doesn’t pool at the base. This method is especially effective for Moody’s clay-rich soil, which holds water. For wooden posts, we also use pressure-treated lumber and apply a wood sealant. This approach keeps your fence stable for years, even during Alabama’s rainy seasons. Dunbar’s has been doing this for Moody homeowners for years—we know what works here.
