Q&A
My fence posts are leaning after heavy rain. What causes this and how can you fix it?
Heavy rain can saturate the soil, causing the ground to soften and posts to shift. At Southern Fence, we dig out the affected posts, reset them in fresh concrete or gravel for better drainage, and ensure they are properly aligned. We also inspect for any underlying drainage issues to prevent recurrence. This solves the leaning problem and extends your fence’s life.
My gate is sagging and dragging on the ground. Is this a sign of worn hinges?
Yes, sagging often indicates worn hinges or a misaligned gate frame. Southern Fence can replace old hinges with heavy-duty, rust-resistant ones and adjust the gate’s alignment. If the damage is extensive, we offer custom metal fabrication for a new gate or can install an automatic gate for added convenience. We’ll have your gate swinging smoothly again.
What services does Southern Fence offer for weatherproofing my fence?
We provide fence painting, staining, and weatherproofing treatments that protect against moisture, rot, and UV damage. For local conditions with heavy rain, we recommend a high-quality stain or sealant to keep water out. This helps prevent leaning posts and warping, and it keeps your fence looking great year after year.
