Professional Commercial Fencing in Coatesville, PA 19320 - Manley Fence Company

The main cause is prolonged moisture from heavy rain and snowmelt combined with clay soil that doesn't drain well. This traps water against the wood, leading to rot. Manley Fence Company prevents this by using pressure-treated lumber, setting posts in gravel for drainage, and applying a weatherproof sealant during installation or as a repair service.

Look for rust spots near welds or hinges, difficulty opening or closing, and paint peeling. Coatesville's freeze-thaw cycles can cause metal to expand and contract, cracking paint and exposing bare metal to moisture. Our repair service can sand and repaint affected areas, and we offer weatherproof coatings to prevent future rust.

Storm damage often loosens posts in the ground. We first assess if the posts can be straightened and re-set with concrete or gravel. If the wood is cracked or rotted, we replace the damaged posts and reinforce the section. We also check the entire fence line for loose rails or missing nails to ensure long-term stability.
