Common Questions
What’s the most common cause of gate sagging in Orwell’s climate?
Frequent freeze-thaw cycles and heavy moisture soften the ground and can shift posts, while swelling and shrinking wood loosens hinges over time. Homestead Fence Company corrects this by repairing or replacing posts, reinforcing hinges, and weatherproofing the gate to prevent future sagging.
How do I know if my wooden fence needs weatherproofing?
Signs include visible cracks, peeling stain, gray or fuzzy wood, or water beading on the surface. If left untreated, rot can set in quickly. Homestead Fence Company offers professional weatherproofing and staining services to protect your fence through Orwell’s wet winters and humid summers.
Can you install an automatic gate on a property with uneven ground near the lake?
Yes. Homestead Fence Company can install automatic gates on sloped or uneven terrain typical near Lake Champlain. We use adjustable posts, heavy-duty hinges, and compatible opener kits to keep the gate level and functioning reliably year after year.
