Flying Fences - Winchester's Trusted Commercial Fencing

Winchester's clay-heavy soil tends to expand and contract with moisture changes, especially after heavy rains or dry spells. This movement loosens the grip on standard post footings, causing posts to lean or shift. At Flying Fences, we address this by using wider, deeper concrete footings and sometimes gravel bases to improve drainage and stability, keeping your fence straight year-round.

Sagging gates often happen from loose hinges or settling posts. A simple solution is to tighten the hinge screws and check the post's plumbness. If it's still off, we can adjust the gate's tension with turnbuckles or add a support wheel for heavy gates. For lasting results, we recommend getting the underlying post alignment checked to prevent future sagging.

Storm damage usually shows as sudden, uneven gaps, broken rails, or leaning sections after high winds or heavy rain. Normal wear is slower—like fading paint or rusted hinges. If you see boards pulled from their tracks or posts shifted at the base after a storm, it's time for a professional repair. Flying Fences can assess the damage and secure your fence against Winchester's next weather event.
