Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to lean or heave in Houghton Lake?
The primary cause is frost heave. Houghton Lake’s freeze-thaw cycles push shallow-set posts upward, especially in sandy or wet soil. Genesis Fence prevents this by setting posts below the frost line (at least 48 inches) and using concrete collars to anchor them securely.
How can I tell if my chain-link fence needs replacing due to rust?
Look for flaking rust, weak spots, or broken wires near the ground and gate hinges. In Houghton Lake’s humid summers and snowy winters, salt and moisture accelerate rust. If more than 20% of the fence is corroded, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repairs.
What’s the best fence to keep deer out of my Houghton Lake property?
A tall (8-foot) woven wire or deer fence works best. Genesis Fence installs heavy-gauge mesh with tensioned lines that deer can’t push through or jump over. We also recommend adding a wooden privacy slat option if you want to block views from nearby trails.
