Pinnacle Fence Company: Reliable Fence Installation Serving Hixson, TN 37343

Hixson’s high humidity and frequent rain cause moisture to seep into untreated wood. The clay-heavy soil also retains water around posts, accelerating rot. Pinnacle uses pressure-treated pine with moisture barriers and concrete footings above grade to keep posts dry and stable.

Leaning often indicates soil erosion or improper post depth. In Hixson, heavy downpours saturate clay soil, causing it to shift. Pinnacle assesses the foundation, replaces damaged posts, and sets them deeper (usually 30-36 inches) with gravel drainage to prevent shifting.

Gates on uneven terrain can sag due to stress on hinges. Pinnacle installs adjustable gate kits that compensate for slope, and uses reinforced hinge brackets rated for the gate’s weight. For severe slopes, we may add a wheel or drag support to ensure smooth operation.
