Fence Contractors Deerfield NH | Call Platinum Fencing & Construction

Frost heave is the main culprit in Deerfield’s cold winters. When the ground freezes and thaws, shallow-set posts get pushed upward and tilt. At Platinum Fencing & Construction, we set posts below the frost line (typically 48 inches in your area) and use gravel backfill for drainage. If your existing fence is already leaning, we can assess the damage, reset or replace posts as needed, and stabilize them to prevent future movement.

That’s a very common challenge around Deerfield. We handle rocky or sloped ground by first surveying the site to plan the best post placement. For areas with ledge or large rocks, we use a combination of rock drilling and alternative post supports like brackets. Our fences are custom-built to follow the contour of your property—no unsightly gaps at the bottom. As general contractors, we can also do minor grading to improve the layout before installation.

For wet, low-lying areas near the river, pressure-treated pine or vinyl post-and-rail fencing works best because it resists rot and doesn’t require painting. We also recommend setting posts in concrete with a slight gravel base to shed moisture away. Our team has experience with equestrian properties around Deerfield and can design a layout that keeps your horses safe while meeting your property boundaries.
