Located just off Route 16 near the scenic Lake Ossipee and the White Mountain foothills, the company understands the unique challenges local properties face—from heavy snow loads and frost heave that can shift posts, to moisture that rots wood, and wildlife like deer and moose that damage boundaries.

They also repair gates that sag or stick due to freeze-thaw cycles, and install pet- or garden-friendly enclosures that keep critters out. By providing reliable, long-lasting fencing, EKG Fence helps West Ossipee homeowners maintain safe, private, and attractive properties year-round.
Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to lean or heave in West Ossipee winters?
Frost heave is the main culprit. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it can push posts upward or sideways, especially if they weren't set below the frost line (typically 4–5 feet in New Hampshire). Poor drainage around the post also exacerbates the problem. EKG Fence ensures posts are set deep and use gravel backfill to allow water to drain, preventing frost-related shifting.
How can I tell if my fence is damaged by moisture or rot?
Look for soft, spongy wood at the base of posts or along the bottom rail, peeling paint or stain, and a musty smell. In West Ossipee's humid summers and snowy winters, moisture can get trapped. You might also notice the fence leaning or sections pulling apart. If you see any of these signs, it's best to have a professional assess before the damage spreads.
What's the best fence material for keeping deer and other wildlife out of my garden near Lake Ossipee?
For areas prone to deer, a tall (at least 8 feet) woven wire or deer fence works well. EKG Fence often recommends vinyl-coated chain link or black metal mesh that blends with the landscape. They also install gates that latch securely to prevent clever critters from pushing through. Local homeowners find this solution effective without blocking the scenic views.
