Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to rot so quickly in Belmont, VT?
The primary cause is the region's high moisture levels combined with freeze-thaw cycles. Snowmelt and rain saturate the soil around wooden posts, and when temperatures drop, the water expands, cracking the wood and accelerating decay. This is especially common in low-lying areas near the Tweed River or in shaded spots near the Green Mountain National Forest.
What are the signs that my fence needs professional repair or replacement?
Look for leaning or loose posts, visible rot at the base, splitting wood, rusted hardware, or gaps where panels have pulled apart. In Belmont's climate, you might also notice frost heave—where posts are pushed upward out of the ground. If your fence wobbles when pushed or has large cracks, it's time for an inspection.
How does New England Fence solve winter damage and wildlife intrusion?
We use concrete footings set below the frost line to prevent heaving, and we recommend materials like vinyl or composite that resist moisture and don't rot. For deer and other wildlife, we install taller, sturdy fences with narrow gaps or add a secondary mesh. Our masonry and concrete work also provides solid foundations for gates and retaining walls that stay stable year-round.
