Wood and Vinyl Fencing Austin TX | Call Stand Strong Fencing

Austin’s intense sun and UV exposure break down fence stains, especially on south- and west-facing fences. This is typically the first sign the wood needs re-staining. Stand Strong Fencing offers fence painting or staining services using UV-resistant finishes that hold up longer. We also weatherproof the wood to minimize moisture damage from sudden rains.

High winds often loosen posts in the soil, especially if the concrete base is shallow or the soil is sandy—common in parts of Austin near the Colorado River. The main sign is a leaning section or gap at the bottom. We can fix this with fence repair, resetting posts deeper with reinforced concrete to better withstand gusts.

Yes, but not directly—an automatic gate won’t stop wind, but proper installation reduces strain on the fence and gate. A poorly hung manual gate can jerk in wind and pull posts loose. We install automatic gates with sturdy, balanced hinges and motorized openers that reduce slamming. This, combined with regular weatherproofing, helps your whole fence system last longer.
