Frequently Asked Questions
What causes wood fence rot in Tuscaloosa, and how can you prevent it?
The main cause of wood fence rot in Tuscaloosa is the area's high humidity and frequent rain, which keep moisture trapped in the wood. This leads to fungal growth that breaks down the fibers. To prevent it, we recommend using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods, and applying a high-quality weatherproofing sealant. Shirley Fabrication offers fence installation with proper drainage and airflow, plus fence weatherproofing services to extend the life of your fence.
My fence has green or black spots. Is that mold, and can you fix it?
Yes, those green or black spots are likely mold and mildew, which thrive in Tuscaloosa's humid climate. They not only look unsightly but can also damage the wood over time. Shirley Fabrication can clean the affected areas and apply a mold-inhibiting sealant as part of our fence painting or staining service. We also offer fence repair if the mold has caused any rot or weakness.
How do automatic gates hold up in Tuscaloosa's weather, and do you install them?
Automatic gates from Shirley Fabrication are built with weather-resistant materials and mechanisms designed to handle humidity, rain, and temperature swings common in Tuscaloosa. We install automatic gate systems that include proper drainage and corrosion-resistant components. Regular maintenance, like checking the motor and lubricating moving parts, helps ensure long-term reliability. We serve both residential and commercial properties near downtown and the University area.
