Residential Fencing El Paso TX | Call EPT Fence

The primary cause is our strong winds, especially during the spring and monsoon seasons. Over time, constant gusts can loosen nails, screws, and brackets that hold fence panels to the posts. Additionally, the dry heat can cause wood to shrink, further weakening the connection.

Look for visible signs like leaning posts, loose or sagging panels, gaps between pickets, or nails that have pulled out. You might also hear rattling or creaking sounds during windy days. If you notice any of these, it’s a good idea to have a professional assess the damage before it worsens.

EPT Fence recommends replacing damaged panels and reinforcing the structure with stronger brackets and screws. For posts that have shifted, we often re-set them in concrete to provide a solid foundation. This approach not only fixes the immediate problem but also helps prevent future wind damage.
