Q&A
What causes fence posts to lean so often in Plymouth, MA?
The main cause is our coastal soil, which is often sandy and loose, especially near neighborhoods like Manomet or the waterfront. This soil doesn't hold posts firmly, especially after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, the ground shifts, and posts can tilt or sink. Fernez Customz addresses this by setting posts deeper and using concrete or gravel bases to create a stable foundation that resists movement.
How can I tell if my gate or fence needs professional repair?
Look for signs like a gate that drags on the ground, gaps between fence panels, rust on metal parts, or wood that feels soft or spongy. If you notice any of these, it's a sign the structure is weakening. Ignoring them can lead to a full collapse, especially during a nor'easter. Fernez Customz can inspect your fence, replace damaged sections, and reinforce hinges or posts to prevent bigger problems.
What is the best solution for a rusty metal gate near the ocean in Plymouth?
For coastal areas like the Plymouth waterfront, rust is a constant issue due to salt air. The best solution is to replace rusted hardware with stainless steel or galvanized options. We also recommend applying a marine-grade paint or sealant to the gate. Fernez Customz can swap out corroded hinges, latches, and even the gate itself, using materials built to handle the salty breeze so you don't have to worry about frequent replacements.
