R&R Gates - Scottsdale's Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing

In Scottsdale, the main cause is soil erosion from our sandy, porous ground and monsoon rains, which wash away support around posts. Over time, this creates gaps that cause posts to lean or wobble. R&R Gates solves this by digging out the loose post, replacing it with a new treated wood or steel post, and setting it in a concrete base deep enough to resist shifting. We also recommend adding gravel at the base for better drainage.

A clear sign is vertical or horizontal cracks appearing on the surface of the boards, often after a few summers of direct sun exposure. The wood may also feel dry and splintery. Our solution is to replace the individual damaged boards with new, kiln-dried lumber that is sealed or painted to resist UV rays. For long-term durability, we can install composite boards or apply a protective stain to prevent future cracking.

We typically recommend section-by-section repairs whenever possible. Our team assesses the overall condition of your fence—if only a few boards are cracked or a couple of posts are loose due to soil erosion, we replace just those parts. This saves money and preserves the look of your existing fence. We only suggest a full replacement if more than 50% of the fence shows serious damage or is structurally unsafe.
