Best Residential Fencing in McAllen, TX 78501 - Prolifique

McAllen’s soil is primarily clay, which expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This constant movement can loosen the concrete base around fence posts, causing them to tilt or sink. Prolifique addresses this by setting posts deeper and using gravel or specialized concrete mixes that allow for drainage and reduce pressure from soil shifts.

Look for boards that are bowing, cupping, or pulling away from the rails. In extreme heat, the wood dries unevenly, leading to cracks and gaps. If you notice your gate sticking or the fence line looking wavy, it’s a sign that the wood is warping. Prolifique can replace damaged sections with heat-treated or composite materials that resist warping in McAllen’s climate.

Yes, patio coverings can shade adjacent fencing, reducing direct sun exposure that accelerates wood warping and paint fading. Prolifique designs patio covers that extend over outdoor living areas, which also helps protect fence posts by keeping the surrounding soil cooler and less prone to extreme drying. They recommend aluminum or insulated panels for maximum durability.
