Morrow's Fence Company - Boca Raton - Boca Raton's Top-Rated Residential Fencing

In Boca Raton, vinyl fence wind damage is primarily caused by the region's frequent high winds, especially during tropical storms and hurricane season. Poorly installed fence posts that lack adequate concrete footings or are set too shallow in sandy soil are a major factor. Additionally, older vinyl panels can become brittle from sun exposure, making them more susceptible to cracking or blowing out under pressure.

Common signs of a gate latch failure include the gate not closing securely or latching on its own, a sagging gate that drags on the ground, or rust and corrosion on the latch mechanism itself. In Boca Raton's humid climate, you may also notice the latch sticking or becoming difficult to operate due to swelling or debris buildup. If you have to lift or slam the gate to get it to catch, it’s time for a professional inspection.

We start by assessing the foundation, as most wind damage stems from post failure. We replace any broken panels and reset or replace posts using deeper concrete footings and gravel for better drainage. For enhanced wind resistance, we recommend upgrading to heavier-gauge vinyl or adding internal reinforcement. We also check all connections and hardware to ensure the entire fence is secure against future storms.
