Privacy Fence Installation Buffalo NY | Call MT Fencing

Buffalo's frequent snow and road salt accelerate corrosion on metal fences. Moisture from snowmelt and high humidity during summer create ideal conditions for rust. Additionally, de-icing chemicals splashed onto fences during winter cause pitting and oxidation. MT Fencing combats this by using galvanized steel and applying rust-inhibiting primers and paints, plus offering annual maintenance inspections to catch early signs.

Look for bowed or bent top rails, loose or missing tension wire, and sagging mesh. Ice buildup can also stress gate hinges, causing them to bind or sag. After a freeze-thaw cycle, check for concrete footings heaving or cracking. If you notice any of these signs, MT Fencing can assess the damage and reinforce the fence with additional bracing or replace damaged sections.

Yes. We recommend installing fences with deeper post footings (below frost line) to minimize frost heave. Using chain link mesh with larger openings reduces ice accumulation. We also apply weather-resistant coatings to metal components. For existing fences, we can add diagonal bracing and replace tension bars to improve stability. After severe ice storms, we perform emergency repairs to restore fence integrity quickly.
