Sand and Sons Fence - Pensacola's Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Loose fence posts are often caused by the sandy, well-draining soil common in Pensacola. After heavy rain or storms, the ground can become saturated, causing the soil around the post to shift or wash away. This reduces the grip on the post, leading to wobbling or leaning.

Look for visible gaps between the post and the ground, or a post that moves easily when you push against it. You might also notice the fence gate sagging or the fence panels leaning. If you see any of these signs, it's time for a professional inspection.

We assess the cause of the instability, which often involves removing the old post and concrete. We then set a new post using a concrete base that extends below the frost line and is properly drained. For existing posts, we can add bracing or replace the soil with compacted gravel to improve stability. We also offer weatherproofing to protect against future moisture damage.
