Reliable Fence Installation in Evans, CO 80634 - Seegers Fencing

The main cause is moisture from snowmelt or heavy rain combined with soil that expands and contracts during freeze-thaw cycles. This can loosen the post base and trap moisture against the wood, leading to rot. A sign to watch for is a fence panel that sags or a gate that drags on the ground. Seegers Fencing can repair this by replacing the rotted section and resetting the post on a gravel base for better drainage, then weatherproofing the new wood to prevent future issues.

In Evans, lightning strikes or power surges can damage the gate’s circuit board, and debris blown by wind can block the tracks. Another common sign is the motor running but the gate not moving, which often points to a stripped gear or a misaligned sensor. Seegers Fencing can diagnose the exact issue—repairing the opener, clearing obstructions, and realigning safety sensors. They can also add surge protection to reduce the risk of future storm damage.

Given the Colorado sun and occasional storms, most wood fences need a fresh coat of stain or paint every two to three years. A sign it's time is when the previous finish starts looking chalky, peeling, or water no longer beads on the surface. Seegers Fencing will first clean and lightly sand the fence, then apply a high-quality, UV-resistant stain or paint. They can also add a weatherproofing sealant afterward to protect against snow and moisture, helping your fence last longer.
