Mark's Fencing | Top-Rated Privacy Fence Installation in Hot Springs, AR

The high humidity and frequent rain in Hot Springs can cause wooden fence rails to swell, shrink, and eventually pull away from posts. Metal brackets can also rust and loosen. At Mark's Fencing, we tighten loose rails by re-securing them with corrosion-resistant fasteners, replacing damaged brackets, and sometimes adding extra support bracing. For wooden fences, we may also recommend a sealant to reduce moisture absorption.

Yes, rust is a common problem for metal fences in Hot Springs due to the moisture from the lake and frequent rain. We start by removing the existing rust with wire brushing and sanding, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a weatherproof topcoat. If sections are severely corroded, we can replace those panels. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and re-coating every few years, can prevent future rust.

Look for loose or wobbly sections, visible rust spots or flaking paint on metal fences, and wooden rails that are pulling away from posts. Also check for gates that sag or don't latch properly. Catching these issues early with a professional inspection from Mark's Fencing can save you from a full replacement later—especially important in Hot Springs' humid climate.
