Q&A
Why do my fence posts heave out of the ground after winter in Prineville?
Prineville’s freeze-thaw cycles cause the ground to shift, which can push fence posts upward—especially if they weren't set deep enough or with proper drainage. At Mountain M Fencing, we use deeper post holes and gravel backfill during excavation to reduce frost heave. If your posts are already lifting, we can reset them with our earthmoving equipment to stabilize them for the long haul.
My automatic gate won’t close all the way after heavy snow. What’s the likely cause?
Snow and ice buildup can block the gate’s path or affect the alignment of the track and sensor. A more subtle issue is that the gate posts may have shifted due to soil movement. We inspect the entire gate system, including the manual or automatic opener, and can regrade the ground or re-set the posts to restore proper clearance. Our automatic gate repair service covers both mechanical adjustments and structural realignment.
How can I prevent my wooden fence from rotting and splitting in Prineville’s climate?
The combination of temperature swings, snow, and occasional heavy rain can accelerate wood damage. Prevention starts with proper installation: using pressure-treated lumber, maintaining good drainage, and sealing the wood. Mountain M Fencing offers fence weatherproofing and staining services that protect against moisture and UV rays. If sections are already damaged, we’ll replace rotted boards and apply a high-quality sealant to extend the life of your fence.
