Fence Contractors Grand Junction CO | Call Henni Fencing

The primary cause is our expansive clay soils, which expand and contract with seasonal moisture changes. This movement gradually loosens the soil around posts, causing them to lean, especially after heavy snowmelt or monsoons. Henni Fencing addresses this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line and using galvanized brackets for added stability, ensuring your fence stays straight for years.

Look for widespread rot at the base of multiple wood posts, significant rust on metal panels that flakes away when touched, or gates that sag and no longer latch properly. If more than 30% of your fence shows these issues, a full replacement is often more cost-effective and safer than piecemeal fixes. We'll inspect your entire fence line and give you an honest assessment.

The solution starts with choosing the right materials. We recommend galvanized steel or aluminum, which resist the corrosive effects of winter road salt and irrigated sprinkler water. For existing rust, we sand down affected areas, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, then a UV-resistant paint. Installing the fence with a few inches of ground clearance also prevents moisture wicking and extends its life significantly.
