Jakes Lawn and Fences | Expert Fence Builders in Moore, OK

Moore’s location in Tornado Alley means high winds are the #1 cause of fence damage. Straight-line winds from thunderstorms can push fence panels over, while flying debris during storms can break posts and rails. Over time, moisture from heavy rain can also rot wooden posts, making them weak and prone to snapping.

Look for leaning sections, loose or missing nails, cracked wood, and rusted hardware. If a fence post wobbles when you push it, the concrete base may be cracked. Also check for gaps between panels or sagging gates—these often mean the structure is losing its strength and needs attention before the next storm.

Overgrown tree limbs can scrape against fences during wind, loosening connections. Regular tree trimming by Jakes Lawn and Fences removes those hazards. Also, keeping grass and weeds short around fence posts reduces moisture retention that accelerates rot. A well-maintained yard means a longer-lasting fence.
