Trusted Privacy Fence Installation in Hohenwald, TN 38462 - Hohenwald Fence

Hohenwald’s humid summers and frequent heavy rain can cause untreated wood to absorb moisture, leading to rot, warping, and mildew. Our solution is to use pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar, and to ensure proper drainage at the post base. We also seal all cuts and joints, and recommend a post-setting technique that keeps wood above standing water. For existing fences, we replace damaged sections and add waterproofing treatments to extend the fence’s life.

Gate sag is common in Hohenwald due to soil shifting and daily use. The cause is usually loose hinges, a twisted frame, or posts that have moved out of plumb. Our team checks the gate’s frame for squareness, reinforces corners with hurricane straps, and sets new posts deeper (at least 30 inches) in concrete. We also use adjustable hinges so you can realign the gate easily over time. If your gate post is leaning, we can replace it with a galvanized steel post for a permanent fix.

Yes, in many cases we can straighten leaning posts without a full replacement. The primary cause is soil saturation and clay expansion, which loosens the post’s footing. Our approach is to dig around the post, reposition it vertically, and add a concrete collar with gravel drainage. If the post is rotted below the soil line, we’ll install a new one using a concrete-free anchor system that prevents future shifting. We’ll also check adjacent posts to ensure the whole fence line remains stable.
