Question Answers
What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Hays, KS?
The main cause is our persistent High Plains wind, which can reach 30 mph or more. Shallow concrete bases or standard 4x4 posts often shift under this strain. Korbe Construction solves this by using deeper-set, 6x6 posts with reinforced concrete footings—common for fences near the Hays Municipal Golf Course or Fort Hays State University.
What are signs that a deck needs repair or replacement?
Look for wobbly railings, cracked or rotted boards, or water pooling on the surface—especially after a rain. In Hays, decks on exposed lots near Vine Street or east of I-70 take a beating. If you see loose nails or boards you can press down on with your foot, it's time to call. Korbe Construction will inspect the joists and ledger board first.
Can Korbe Construction reinforce an existing fence to handle Hays wind, or do you always replace it?
We can usually reinforce—adding metal braces, taller concrete bases, or thicker posts—especially if the wood is still solid. This works well for fences along 12th Street or near the hospital. If more than 30% of the fence is sagging or rotted, we recommend replacement with wind-rated materials.
