Privacy Fence Installation Crossville TN | Call Innatefence

The main cause is the area's clay soil, which expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This movement loosens the soil around posts, especially if they aren't set deep enough. Heavy rains common to the Cumberland Plateau can also wash away backfill. Innatefence solves this by digging post holes below the frost line and using concrete footings to anchor posts securely.

Look for signs like rotting wood near the base, rust on metal components, or peeling paint. In Crossville's humid summers, wood fences often show soft spots or discoloration. Metal gates may develop orange rust specks. If you notice these issues, Innatefence can inspect your fence and recommend repairs or replacement with weather-resistant materials like vinyl or powder-coated aluminum.

For our freeze-thaw cycles and humidity, vinyl and galvanized chain link are top choices. They resist moisture, won't rot, and handle soil movement well. If you prefer wood, pressure-treated pine with proper sealing works, but requires annual maintenance. Innatefence can help you choose based on your budget and property's exposure, ensuring a fence that lasts through Tennessee seasons.
