Squirrel's Fencing: Local Privacy Fence Installation Serving Saltillo, MS 38866

Leaning fence posts in Saltillo are often caused by soil erosion from heavy rains, shifting clay soils, or improper initial installation. The humid Mississippi climate can also soften the ground around post holes, especially if they weren't set deep enough or with concrete. Squirrel's Fencing can assess the cause and reinforce or replace posts to keep your fence straight and sturdy.

Signs of termite damage include hollow-sounding wood, small piles of sawdust near the base of posts, visible mud tubes on the fence, or wood that crumbles easily when poked. In Saltillo's warm, humid climate, termites are a common threat. If you notice any of these signs, call Squirrel's Fencing for a thorough inspection and repair or replacement of affected sections.

A gate that won't close is usually due to a sagging hinge, a warped frame, or a misaligned latch. Over time, the weight of the gate or settling of the posts can throw it off. Squirrel's Fencing can tighten hinges, adjust the post, or install a tension rod to correct the sag. For persistent issues, we might recommend a heavier-duty hinge or a new gate frame to ensure smooth operation.
