Shears 1 Construction - Stockbridge's Top-Rated Fencing Company

In Stockbridge, the primary cause of cracked fence pickets is the combination of high humidity and rapid temperature changes. Wood naturally expands and contracts with moisture. During wet seasons, the wood absorbs moisture and swells, then contracts as it dries out in the sun or during drier periods. This constant cycle stresses the wood fibers, leading to cracks. Additionally, direct sun exposure can dry out the surface faster than the interior, creating stress cracks. Shears 1 Construction can assess your fence's exposure and recommend the best wood type or treatment to minimize this issue.

You can often spot warped fence boards by looking for visible bends, bows, or twists along the length of the board. A common sign is a board that no longer sits flush against the rail or has a noticeable gap at one end. You might also see a board that is cupping (curving across its width) or bowing (curving along its length). If you notice these signs, it's best to have a professional like Shears 1 Construction inspect your fence. We can determine if the warping is cosmetic or if it compromises the fence's structural integrity, and we can replace only the affected boards to save you money.
