Fence Builders Indianapolis IN | Call Nunns Outdoor Dreamscapes

The main cause is our freeze-thaw cycle combined with high humidity. Moisture gets trapped in the wood, then expands when it freezes, cracking the wood fibers. Over time, this creates entry points for rot and insects. Nunns Outdoor Dreamscapes prevents this by using properly treated lumber, leaving correct gaps for drainage, and applying a high-quality sealant suited for Indiana's climate.

Signs of storm damage include leaning sections (especially after high winds), broken or splintered pickets, and loose posts where the ground has softened. Normal wear shows as gradual fading or surface cracks. If you see a sudden change after a storm, it's likely damage. Nunns offers free inspections to assess your fence and provide a straightforward repair plan.

For noise and privacy, a solid wood or vinyl privacy fence is ideal. Nunns Outdoor Dreamscapes recommends a 6-foot tall board-on-board wood fence or a thick-gauge vinyl option to block sound and create a quiet retreat. They can also add a gate for secure access to your backyard.
