Perimeter Experts Fence And Decks | Local Fence Builders in San Antonio, TX

The primary cause is our intense sun and high humidity, which can cause metal to rust and wood to warp or rot. Additionally, overgrown vegetation, like vines and tree roots, can push against or wrap around fence components, leading to structural weakness over time.

Look for signs like loose or rotting boards, rusted nails, or a wobbly railing. If the damage is isolated to a few planks or a single section, repair is often sufficient. However, if the support posts or ledger board are compromised, or if there's widespread rot, a replacement will be safer and more cost-effective in the long run.

During installation, we clear a buffer zone around the structure and use pressure-treated lumber or metal components that resist moisture and pests. For existing structures, we recommend trimming back plants at least 12 inches from the fence or deck, and applying a weed barrier to discourage root growth near the posts.
