Questions and Answers
Why do my fence posts keep leaning or rotting after a storm, and how do you fix that?
In Marshfield, our clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with moisture, while strong winds from spring storms can loosen posts set too shallowly. This causes warping, leaning, and rot at the base. Our solution is simple but effective: we dig posts at least 24 inches deep, set them in a concrete collar, and use pressure-treated lumber or galvanized steel. This keeps your fence stable through freeze-thaw cycles and high winds, so it stays straight for years.
What are the signs that my gate needs repair or replacement before it fails completely?
A sagging gate that drags on the ground, won’t latch properly, or has rusted hinges are clear warning signs. In Marshfield’s humid summers, wooden gates often swell and crack, while metal gates can corrode. If you notice gaps in the pickets or the frame pulling away from the post, it’s time for a fix. We can reinforce the frame, replace hardware, or install a new gate that swings smoothly and secures your property.
Can you install a fence that will hold up to the high winds we get near Highway 38?
Absolutely. For properties along Highway 38 or other exposed areas, we recommend using wind-resistant designs. That means setting posts deeper, using heavier-gauge metal for chain-link or ornamental iron, and spacing pickets to allow airflow with privacy slats. For wood or vinyl, we add internal bracing and use thicker rails. We’ll assess your specific site and build a fence that won’t blow down or crack in Marshfield’s gusty conditions.
