Residential Fencing College Station TX | Call First Choice Fencing Company

Clay-heavy soil and heavy rain often cause post erosion here. Over time, water loosens the ground, making posts shift or rot. We fix this by setting posts in concrete and using treated lumber or metal brackets, giving them a stable base that resists movement and moisture damage.

Look for loose panels, cracked rails, or gaps between boards after a storm. If your fence wiggles when pushed, wind has likely stressed the structure. We reinforce it with stronger brackets and thicker wood, and sometimes add wind breaks like partial lattice to reduce pressure.

For our area, galvanized steel or heavy-gauge aluminum holds up best against wind, while pressure-treated pine or cedar works well for wood if installed with proper drainage. We recommend matching your yard's sun exposure and soil type to avoid warping or rust over time.
