Top-Rated Commercial Fencing in Campbell, CA 95008 - Fenceworks by Bob Orsich

In Campbell, the main culprits are windstorms that can knock panels loose, aging wood that splits or rots over time, and shifting soil that tilts posts. Additionally, fences exposed to nearby wildfires can suffer from heat-induced warping or charring, even if flames don't directly touch them.

Look for visible signs like charred or blackened spots, warped or buckled wood, brittle or cracked boards, and discoloration. Heat exposure can also weaken fasteners and posts. If you notice any of these after a fire event, it's best to have a professional inspect the entire fence for hidden structural issues.

Switching to non-combustible materials like metal, concrete, or fire-rated wood composites is highly effective. Bob Orsich can also retrofit existing fences with fire-resistant barriers, install gravel strips along the base, and ensure proper spacing between panels. Regular maintenance, like clearing dry vegetation near the fence, further reduces risk.
