Wood and Vinyl Fencing Fresno CA | Call Marathon Fencing

Fresno's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes, causing fence posts to shift. Poor initial installation, inadequate gravel drainage, or rot from wood posts can also lead to movement. Marathon Fencing addresses this by using deep-set concrete footings and properly draining aggregate, ensuring posts stay stable through wet winters and dry summers.

Common signs include the gate dragging on the ground, difficulty latching, visible gaps between the gate and post, or the gate swinging open on its own. These often stem from loose hinges, sagging due to weight, or post movement. If you notice these in Fresno's climate, Marathon Fencing can adjust or reinforce the gate to restore smooth operation.

We start by diagnosing the root cause—usually post movement or hinge wear. For minor misalignment, we adjust hinges or install anti-sag kits. For post problems, we reset the post with concrete and rehang the gate. Our team uses galvanized hardware and pressure-treated lumber to resist Fresno's dry conditions, and we offer wrought iron or vinyl options for long-lasting alignment.
