Shoreline Renovations - Galloway's Professional Fence Builders

Leaning fence posts in Galloway are often caused by our sandy, loose soil combined with strong winds from the nearby bay. Over time, the soil shifts, weakening the post’s grip. At Shoreline Renovations, we solve this by excavating around the post, setting it with concrete footings that extend below the frost line, then backfilling with compacted soil. This method ensures stability, even in our coastal environment.

After a storm, gates often shift due to high winds or a swollen hinge from moisture. A common sign is the gate dragging or sticking. We inspect the alignment and hardware, tighten or replace hinges, and adjust the latch. If the posts have moved, we realign them and reinforce the foundation. This keeps your gate functioning smoothly through Galloway’s weather.

The salty air and high humidity near Absecon Bay accelerate wood rot in standard fences. We recommend using pressure-treated lumber or low-maintenance vinyl, which resists moisture. Our installation includes proper drainage around posts and occasional sealing for wood options. This proactive approach extends your fence’s lifespan and saves you from frequent replacements.
