Privacy Fence Installation Eau Claire WI | Call Fence Post

In Eau Claire, common signs include leaning posts after heavy rain or thawing, rotting wood near the ground from snow buildup, and loose or rusted gate hinges. If your fence has gaps or won't latch properly, it's time for a checkup.

Eau Claire's freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs cause soil to expand and contract, which can shift posts. Moisture trapped against wood, especially in shady areas near the Chippewa River, speeds up rot. Using pressure-treated lumber or metal posts helps prevent this.

We start by checking the hinges and post stability. Often, we replace rusted hardware or add a tension cable. If the post is loose, we dig it out, set it in concrete, and adjust the gate so it swings freely again. It's a quick fix that saves you from replacing the whole fence.
