Fence Installation Waukee IA | Call Kee Outdoors

The main cause is moisture from snow melt and heavy rain, which seeps into untreated wood or poorly set posts. Signs include leaning sections, soft wood near the base, or gaps between the post and ground. Kee Outdoors solves this by removing the affected post, setting a new one with concrete in a deep hole, and weatherproofing the wood to prevent future rot.

Sagging is often a sign of loose hinges, warped wood, or a shifting gate post. This is common in Waukee due to freeze-thaw cycles that move the ground. Our solution involves tightening or replacing hardware, realigning the post, and sometimes adding a tension cable. For wooden gates, we may also plane or replace the gate slab to ensure a snug fit.

Signs include peeling paint, grayed or splintered wood, and water stains after a rain. If left untreated, the fence will deteriorate faster in Waukee's humid summers and icy winters. We apply a high-quality sealant or stain after cleaning and lightly sanding the surface. This creates a barrier against moisture and UV rays, extending the life of your fence by several years.
