Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to rot quickly in Newark, OH, and how can Hills Fence prevent it?
The primary cause is the region's high humidity and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, which trap moisture in untreated wood. Hills Fence prevents this by using pressure-treated lumber or setting posts in concrete with gravel drainage to allow water to escape, extending the life of your fence significantly.
What are the signs that my gate needs repair or replacement, and what solutions does Hills Fence offer?
Common signs include sagging, difficulty latching, or scraping the ground, often due to loose hinges or a shifting post. Hills Fence can realign the gate, reinforce the hinges, or replace the post if it's rotted. For severe damage, we recommend a new gate installation with heavy-duty hardware to ensure smooth operation.
How does Hills Fence address weather damage from heavy snow or rain on my existing fence?
We start by inspecting for warped boards, rusted nails, or cracked panels. Our solution typically involves replacing damaged sections with weather-resistant materials like vinyl or aluminum, and adding proper drainage around posts. We also seal wood fences to prevent future moisture absorption, ensuring your fence withstands Newark's wet seasons.
