Best Fence Contractors in Ostrander, OH 43061 - My Fence Fence Company

In Ostrander, the main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle in heavy clay soil, which heaves posts upward and sideways. This loosens the ground around the post, leading to leaning or gate sag. My Fence Fence Company solves this by setting posts below the frost line (at least 36 inches deep) and using concrete footings with gravel drainage to prevent water pooling. For existing sagging gates, we realign hinges and adjust tension hardware to restore proper swing.

Deer are common in Ostrander's rural and wooded neighborhoods. They can push through standard fences by leaning or jumping. The solution is to install a taller fence (at least 6 feet) made from heavy-gauge welded wire or a solid privacy fence. My Fence Fence Company reinforces corners with extra bracing and uses tension wire to prevent bowing. We also recommend adding a top rail to discourage jumping.

Wet springs cause soil expansion, which can shift gate posts out of alignment, making the latch miss. The first sign is a gate that sticks or won't close fully. My Fence Fence Company can re-set the gate post using a concrete base with proper drainage, then adjust the hinges and latch mechanism. We also install adjustable gate hardware that allows for seasonal realignment without replacing the whole gate.
