Lowery’s Fencing | Trusted Commercial Fencing in Charleston, SC

The main cause is the combination of high humidity, frequent rain, and salty sea air, which accelerates moisture absorption and fungal growth. This is especially common in areas near the Battery or Shem Creek. At Lowery’s Fencing, we solve this by using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and applying a weather-resistant sealant. We also recommend proper post-set drainage to prevent water pooling, extending your fence’s life by years.

Rust is a clear sign that the gate’s protective coating has failed, often due to salt spray from the ocean or marsh breezes. You might see orange spots or flaking paint. Lowery’s Fencing addresses this by installing powder-coated aluminum gates, which are rust-proof and ideal for coastal neighborhoods like Folly Beach or Sullivan’s Island. We also offer galvanized steel options with a marine-grade finish for added durability.

A sagging gate is often a sign of loose hinges, warped wood, or a shifting post due to the area’s clay soil. This is common in older homes near King Street or the Historic District. Our solution begins with a full inspection—we’ll realign the post, replace any rotted wood, and install heavy-duty hinges. For long-term stability, we use concrete footings and adjust the gate’s tension, ensuring it swings smoothly again.
