Fence Fellows - Michigan City's Trusted Residential Fencing

Michigan City's sandy soil and high moisture from Lake Michigan accelerate wood rot and rust in fence posts. Signs include leaning posts, cracked concrete bases, and soft, spongy wood at ground level. Fence Fellows solves this by replacing rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or galvanized steel set in deep, well-drained concrete footings. For added durability, we recommend vinyl or aluminum posts that resist moisture and pests.

Heavy snow, ice, and strong winds off Lake Michigan can warp wooden fence panels, especially if they're not properly braced. Sagging panels are a common sign of weakened rails or loose brackets. Fence Fellows reinforces your fence with hurricane-grade brackets and thicker rails, and we can replace warped sections with moisture-resistant composite or vinyl panels that hold their shape year-round.

Standard lightweight gates often sag or blow open in Michigan City's gusty lake winds. A better solution is a heavy-duty aluminum or steel gate with self-closing hinges and a latch that locks securely. Fence Fellows installs gates with reinforced frames and adjustable tension hinges to prevent sagging, ensuring your gate stays aligned and functional even during storms.
