FAQs
What causes fence posts to lean or sink in Indianapolis?
The primary cause is expansive clay soil common in Indianapolis. After heavy rain, the soil swells, then contracts in dry spells, loosening the post. Over time, this movement shifts the post out of alignment. Fred’s Fence solves this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line (about 30 inches) and using gravel for drainage, preventing moisture buildup that pushes the post.
What are common signs that my fence needs repair before it fails?
Look for rotting wood near the ground, loose or missing nails, gates that drag, or rust spots on metal fences. In Indianapolis, pay special attention to posts touching wet soil after snowmelt—this accelerates rot. If your fence leans more than a few degrees, it’s a sign the foundation has shifted. Fred’s Fence offers free inspections to spot these issues early.
How can Fred’s Fence fix a gate that no longer latches properly?
First, they check if the gate post has moved or if the hinges are loose. Often, settling soil in Indianapolis causes the gate frame to sag. Fred’s Fence can adjust the hinges, replace rusted hardware, or re-set the gate post with a deeper concrete base. They also install self-closing hinges or magnetic latches for convenience and security.
