Sunflower Fence | Top-Rated Residential Fencing in Wichita, KS

Wichita's weather is a major culprit. High winds from spring storms can loosen posts or blow panels loose. Summer heat and humidity cause wood to expand and contract, leading to warping and cracking. Winter freeze-thaw cycles can shift posts, and moisture from snow or rain can rot untreated wood. Sunflower Fence assesses these factors to recommend the right materials and installation methods—like using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts—to withstand local conditions.

Look for leaning sections, loose or missing boards, rusted gate hinges, or posts that wobble when pushed. If you see gaps at the bottom, cracked rails, or wood that feels soft and spongy, that’s rot. Also, check for sagging gates that don’t latch properly. In Wichita, these signs often appear after a big storm or after a few years of exposure. Sunflower Fence offers free inspections to catch issues early before they become costly problems.

We start with a thorough inspection to identify the root cause—whether it’s post rot, wind damage, or poor installation. For leaning fences, we reset or replace posts with concrete footings. Rotting boards are replaced with weather-resistant materials like cedar or vinyl. Gates get new hardware and alignment. For storm damage, we can repair sections or replace entire panels. We also offer preventive treatments like sealing wood or adding wind breaks. Our goal is a fence that stands up to Kansas weather and looks great for years.
