Q&A
What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Willoughby soil?
The clay-heavy soil around Willoughby expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes. This freeze-thaw cycle can gradually push fence posts out of alignment. A poor initial installation—like not setting posts below the frost line—makes this worse. Onguard Fence Company addresses this by digging deeper holes, using concrete footings, and selecting posts rated for wet conditions, preventing future leaning.
How can I tell if my fence has wind or storm damage, and what can you do?
Signs include loose or missing pickets, cracked rails, and gates that won't latch properly. After a Lake Erie wind event, look for warped panels or sagging sections. Onguard Fence Company will inspect your fence, replaced damaged sections with wind-rated materials, and reinforce connections. For vinyl fences, we can replace cracked panels; for wood, we repair or swap rotten boards to restore strength and appearance.
My gate is dragging on the ground—can you fix it without replacing the whole fence?
Yes. A sagging gate is often due to loose hinges, a leaning post, or a broken latch. Onguard Fence Company can tighten hinges, adjust the post alignment with a concrete backfill, or install a new gate frame if the wood has rotted. We also offer self-closing hinge upgrades for convenience. It's a quick, cost-effective fix that saves you from a full fence replacement.
