New Fence | Best Residential Fencing in Stony Point, NC

The main cause is moisture rot from our humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles. Posts set in concrete often trap water, leading to decay at the ground line. Our solution is to remove the rotted section, set a new treated post in gravel for better drainage, and attach a matching panel. We also seal the cut ends to prevent future rot.

Yes, a sagging gate usually means the hinge post has loosened or the gate frame is twisted. In Stony Point, clay soil can shift after heavy rain, causing posts to lean. We'll check the post's stability, re-set it if needed, and reinforce the gate with corner brackets. A simple latch adjustment won't fix a leaning post.

For deer, we recommend a 6-foot privacy fence with no gaps between pickets. To prevent digging underneath, we bury the bottom rail 2-3 inches below the soil or install a galvanized wire apron. Since we know local deer trails, we can position gates away from high-traffic areas to reduce pressure on the fence line.
