Wood and Vinyl Fencing Casey IA | Call Sunds Custom Fencing

The biggest culprit is the combination of strong, gusty winds common to central Iowa and our area's sandy, loose soil. Over time, these winds catch the fence like a sail and cause standard fence posts to lean or pull out of the ground, especially if they weren't set deep enough or with proper concrete anchoring.

Start by checking for any visible leaning sections or gaps between the fence and the ground. Look for cracks in the concrete around the post bases, or areas where the soil has pulled away. You might also notice loose pickets or panels that rattle in the wind. In Casey, even a slight list can be an early warning of a bigger problem on the way.

We solve the local loose-soil problem by digging deeper post holes and filling them with a generous amount of concrete to lock the posts in place. We also use heavy-gauge, galvanized steel posts for high-wind areas and choose dense, weather-resistant lumber for the panels. This anchored construction prevents shifting and keeps your fence sturdy for years.
