Flores Farm & Ranch Fencing - Seguin's Professional Fence Installation

The primary cause is soil movement. Seguin's clay-rich soil expands when wet and contracts during dry spells, which can shift your fence posts over time. This is especially common after heavy rains or droughts. Poor initial installation, like shallow post holes, makes it worse. Flores Farm & Ranch Fencing addresses this by setting posts deeper and using concrete anchors or gravel bases to counteract soil movement.

Look for visible leaning posts, gaps between fence panels, cracked or warped wood, rust spots on metal, and difficulty opening gates. If you notice discoloration or rot near the bottom of wood posts, moisture damage is likely. In Seguin, where humidity is high, these issues can accelerate. If your gate drags or won't latch, it's a clear sign of post instability. Contact us for a free inspection to determine if repairs or a new fence is needed.

For discoloration, we clean and treat wood with sealers that resist UV rays and moisture. For metal, we repaint or apply rust inhibitors. To fix post instability, we excavate the old post, pour a concrete footer that extends below the frost line, and reset the post with proper drainage. In areas near Lake Dunlap or the Guadalupe River, we recommend using pressure-treated wood or galvanized steel to resist moisture-related issues. Our goal is a long-lasting, stable fence that looks great.
