FAQs
Why do fence posts rot so quickly in Waynesville, and how can I prevent it?
Waynesville’s damp mountain climate causes moisture to collect at the base of fence posts, leading to rot. Elkwood Construction prevents this by using pressure-treated wood, setting posts in gravel for drainage, and applying weatherproof sealants. We also offer regular maintenance and staining to extend fence life.
What are the signs that my fence needs repair or replacement?
Look for leaning posts, cracked or splintered wood, rusted hardware, or gates that won’t close properly. In Waynesville, rot near the ground is common. If more than 30% of your fence is affected, replacement may be more cost-effective. Elkwood provides free inspections and can recommend repair or full replacement.
Can you build a fence that keeps deer out of my garden?
Yes. Elkwood installs tall, sturdy fences (6-8 feet) with tight mesh or pickets to deter deer. We also offer automatic gate installation for easy access. Our designs account for Waynesville’s terrain, using concrete footings and weather-resistant materials to withstand the local climate.
