Fincher Fence Company Inc | Trusted Fence Contractors in Roanoke, AL

In Roanoke, heavy clay soils and poor drainage often lead to water pooling around fence posts, causing them to rot or loosen over time. Our solution involves removing the affected post, adding gravel for better drainage, and setting the new post in concrete or using a gravel base to prevent future erosion. We also evaluate your yard's grading to recommend simple drainage improvements that extend your fence's life.

Common signs include a latch that sticks, won't close properly, or has rusted through. This often happens because the gate sags due to loose hinges or a warped frame. We inspect both the latch and the gate alignment, then adjust or replace hardware as needed. For frequent issues, we recommend heavy-duty latches with corrosion-resistant coatings suitable for Alabama's humidity.

For properties near local lakes or low-lying areas, we use pressure-treated wood or vinyl materials that resist water damage. We also install posts with concrete footings elevated above ground level to minimize direct soil contact. Our team ensures proper drainage around each post, and we can add gravel trenches if needed. This approach keeps your fence stable despite Roanoke's rainfall.
