Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Shallotte's sandy soil?
The primary cause is the loose, sandy soil common in Shallotte and coastal Brunswick County. Without proper anchoring, wind and rain can loosen the ground around the post. McLamb Fence solves this by using deep-set concrete footings and pressure-treated wood, which resist rot and keep posts stable even in shifting sand.
How can I tell if my fence has moisture damage from high humidity?
Look for signs like discoloration, soft spots, or peeling paint on wood fences. In vinyl fences, check for warping or cracking. McLamb Fence recommends annual inspections and can replace damaged sections with moisture-resistant materials, extending your fence's life in Shallotte's humid climate.
What is the best solution for a gate that won't close properly due to ground movement?
Ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles or erosion can misalign gate posts. A permanent solution is to re-set the gate post with a deeper concrete base and install an adjustable hinge system. McLamb Fence offers this repair service, ensuring your gate swings smoothly again.
