Gilbert Fence | Best Privacy Fence Installation in Cleveland, TN

Leaning posts are often caused by the region's clay-heavy soil, which expands and contracts with moisture changes, loosening the concrete base. Gilbert Fence solves this by digging deeper post holes (below the frost line) and using a gravel base for drainage, then setting posts in high-strength concrete. This technique prevents shifting and keeps your fence straight for years.

Look for soft spots, discoloration, or peeling paint near the ground—common in Cleveland's humid climate. Gilbert Fence can replace individual rotted boards or sections with pressure-treated or cedar wood that resists decay. For severe cases, they may recommend a full replacement with vinyl or aluminum, which won't rot.

Sagging gates are usually due to loose hinges, a warped frame, or post settlement. Gilbert Fence will first check the gate post for plumb and re-set it if needed. Then they reinforce the gate with diagonal bracing or replace hinges with heavy-duty strap hinges. They also adjust the latch alignment so it closes securely, keeping your property safe.
