EZ Gates & Fencing | Experienced Fence Builders in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix's dry, sandy soil shrinks as it loses moisture, especially during prolonged drought. This creates gaps around the post base, causing the fence to lean or wobble. At EZ Gates & Fencing, we combat this by setting posts in concrete footings that extend below the frost line (about 12–18 inches) and using gravel for drainage, ensuring stability even in drought conditions.

Signs include faded color, cracking or peeling paint, and brittle wood that splinters easily. In Phoenix's intense sun, UV rays break down the finish and dry out the wood over time. If your fence looks chalky, has cracks along the grain, or the stain is flaking off, it's time for a refresh. We offer high-quality, UV-resistant stains and sealants that restore protection and extend the life of your fence.

We start by removing the old post and digging a wider, deeper hole. Then we set the new post in a concrete collar with a gravel base for drainage. In some cases, we use specialized metal anchors to brace the post against shifting soil. Finally, we compact the backfill and apply a waterproof sealant to prevent moisture loss. This method keeps your fence sturdy for years, even during dry spells.
