Fence Pro | Professional Residential Fencing in Franklinton, LA

The main cause is prolonged moisture exposure, especially from heavy rains and humid air common in Franklinton. Posts set directly in soil without proper drainage or pressure-treated wood can absorb water, leading to decay. Poor ventilation around posts and lack of a gravel base also contribute.

Look for visible bending, cupping, or twisting along the length of the boards. You might also notice gaps between pickets or difficulty opening and closing gates. Warped boards often occur after cycles of wetting and drying, especially on fences facing direct sun.

We assess the damage: for minor warping, we may sand, re-stain, and apply weatherproofing. Severely warped boards are replaced with high-quality, kiln-dried wood or composite alternatives. We also check for underlying moisture issues, improve drainage, and recommend regular sealing to prevent future warping.
