Frank Valdez Fencing - Brownwood's Trusted Residential Fencing

Loose fence panels are often the result of strong winds that can pull nails or screws loose, especially in older fences. Settling soil around the posts can also shift the structure over time. In Brownwood, seasonal weather changes and heavy rains can soften the ground, causing posts to move and panels to become unstable. Regular inspections and prompt tightening of fasteners can prevent further damage.

After a hailstorm, check for dents, cracks, or splintered wood on the surface of your fence. On wooden fences, hail can leave small craters or splits. On metal or vinyl fences, look for dings, holes, or sections that have become loose. If you see any of these signs, it's best to have a professional assess the extent of the damage to determine if repair or replacement is needed.

For Brownwood's climate, a combination of a high-quality sealant or stain and routine maintenance works best. Start by cleaning the fence and letting it dry completely. Apply a weatherproofing product that offers UV and moisture protection. Pay extra attention to the bottom of panels and posts, where moisture tends to collect. Reapplying every two to three years will help prevent rot, warping, and hail damage. Frank Valdez Fencing can also apply a professional-grade weatherproof coating to extend your fence's life.
