Experienced Fence Contractors in Fort Worth, TX 76133 - Southwest Fence and Patio

In Fort Worth, prolonged sun exposure can dry out wood fences, causing them to shrink, crack, and split. This is especially common with pine and cedar if not properly sealed. Southwest Fence and Patio recommends using pressure-treated lumber or composite materials that are heat-resistant, along with periodic sealing to prevent moisture loss and cracking.

After a hailstorm, look for dents, chips, or splinters on wood fences, or dimples on metal or vinyl. On wood, hail can create small impact marks that later lead to rot. Check for loose boards or warped sections. Southwest offers free inspections in Fort Worth to assess damage and recommend repairs or replacement before problems worsen.

For Fort Worth’s mix of intense sun, hail, and wind, aluminum patio covers are a top choice—they’re durable, lightweight, and resist rust and impact. Steel with a powder-coated finish also works well. Southwest Fence and Patio installs custom designs that complement your home while providing lasting shade and protection, even through hailstorms.
