Moonlight Fencing - Wichita's Professional Residential Fencing

Wichita’s frequent high winds and sudden storms often weaken fence posts or loosen panels. Over time, soil shifting around the posts can cause leaning. Moonlight Fencing recommends using pressure-treated wood or vinyl with reinforced posts set in concrete. They also advise checking for loose hardware after major weather and scheduling annual inspections to catch small issues early.

If your gate drags on the ground, won’t latch properly, or has visible rot or rust, it’s a sign the frame may be compromised. Moonlight Fencing suggests testing the gate’s alignment: if it sags more than an inch when closed, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. For minor issues like a sticking latch or worn hinges, a quick adjustment might suffice.

For windy spots—like properties near the Kansas Turnpike or open fields—Moonlight Fencing often installs semi-private vinyl or chain link with privacy slats. These materials flex slightly without cracking, unlike solid wood panels that can catch wind like a sail. They also ensure proper post spacing and use galvanized brackets to hold up against gusts common in the Wichita area.
