Ramm Fencing: Top-Rated Fence Installation Serving Dyersburg, TN 38024

The main culprit is the area's heavy clay soil, which expands and contracts with moisture, especially after heavy rains. Combined with strong winds from storms that come through the Mississippi River Valley, fence posts can loosen over time, causing gates to drag or posts to tilt. Ramm Fencing addresses this by setting posts with a deep concrete base designed for our local soil conditions.

Look for visible signs like loose or broken pickets, a gate that no longer latches properly, or a gap between the fence bottom and the ground. After a storm, also check for posts that feel wobbly when pushed. If you notice any of these in Dyersburg, it's best to have a professional inspect the fence before the next bad weather causes more damage.

Absolutely. We use a method called 'concrete collar' anchoring, which involves setting each post in a wider, deeper hole with a gravel base and concrete mix that resists the freeze-thaw cycles common here. This technique helps keep your new gate operating smoothly and your fence standing straight, even through Dyersburg's seasonal storms.
