Q&A
What causes fence posts to lean or sink in Waunakee soil?
The main cause is frost heave—when moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward or sideways. This is common in Waunakee due to heavy clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles. Signs include gates not latching, gaps under the fence, or a noticeable tilt. The solution is to reset posts below the frost line (about 48 inches) and use gravel for drainage, which Madison Fence does as part of any repair or new installation.
How can I tell if my wood fence needs replacement versus repair?
Check for rot at the base of posts—if a screwdriver easily sinks an inch or more, the post is likely compromised. Also look for widespread warping, splitting, or insect damage. If less than 30% of the fence is affected, targeted repair (replacing individual boards or posts) is cost-effective. For larger issues, full replacement is better. Our team does a free inspection to help you decide.
What’s the best fence material for privacy in Waunakee’s climate?
Vinyl or cedar are top choices. Vinyl resists rot, moisture, and wind better than wood, and never needs painting—ideal for our snowy winters. Cedar naturally repels insects and handles humidity well. For maximum privacy, both can be installed with no gaps. Madison Fence offers a variety of styles and can recommend what fits your yard and budget.
