Stephens Integrity Fencing - Shreveport's Experienced Privacy Fence Installation

High winds, flying debris, and heavy rain from hurricanes can loosen posts, snap rails, or topple entire fence sections. Flooding may also weaken post footings in soft ground, especially in areas near the Red River or low-lying neighborhoods.

Look for orange or brown discoloration, flaking paint, or small pits on the metal surface. Rust often starts at joints, welds, or scratches. In Shreveport’s humid conditions, even galvanized fences may show rust within a few years if not maintained.

We recommend heavy-gauge aluminum or steel fences with reinforced posts set in concrete, and wind-rated gates. For wood fences, using hurricane clips and properly spaced pickets can reduce wind resistance. We also apply rust-inhibitive coatings to extend fence life.
