Expert Commercial Fencing in Great Bend, KS 67530 - Meitner Fence & Deck

Kansas’s extreme temperature swings and high winds can cause wood to expand, contract, and dry out rapidly. This leads to warping, cracking, and splintering. Meitner combats this by using kiln-dried lumber with proper spacing and recommending composite or PVC decking for long-lasting performance.

Signs include leaning sections, cracked or rotted wood at ground level, and loose or missing gate hinges. In Great Bend’s prairie winds, posts set in concrete can also shift. Meitner inspects post connections and suggests galvanized steel brackets or deeper concrete footings for extra stability.

Yes. If damage is limited—like a few rotten boards or a wobbly railing—Meitner can match existing wood or replace with a more durable material for that section. They’ll check the underlying framing and joists to ensure structural safety, saving you money over a full replacement.
