Fence Installation Dolan Springs AZ | Call Kelton Custom Fences & Archways

The extreme heat and intense sun in Dolan Springs cause the moisture in wood to evaporate unevenly, leading to warping, cupping, and cracking. At Kelton Custom Fences & Archways, we combat this by using kiln-dried, pressure-treated lumber that is more stable. We also leave proper expansion gaps between boards and apply a high-quality UV-resistant stain or sealant to minimize heat absorption. This approach helps your fence stay straight and functional longer, even during the hottest months.

In Dolan Springs, the dry, rocky soil can shrink and shift, causing fence posts to loosen. Common signs include leaning sections, gates that no longer latch properly, visible cracks near the base of the post, or a spongy feel when you push against the fence. If you notice these issues, the post may be rotting below ground or the concrete footing may be compromised. Kelton Custom Fences & Archways can inspect the posts and replace them with set-in concrete footings that are deeper and wider to anchor the fence securely in our local soil.

Yes, in many cases we can. For a cracked post that is still structurally sound, Kelton Custom Fences & Archways can reinforce it with a metal post sleeve or a sister post. We also use specialized epoxy fillers for minor cracks to prevent moisture intrusion. However, if the crack is deep or the post is rotting from the base, a full replacement is the safest long-term fix. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution that keeps your fence sturdy against Dolan Springs' heat and wind.
