Supreme Maintenance Services | Local Residential Fencing in Corpus Christi, TX

The main cause is the sandy, loamy soil found in many Corpus Christi areas, especially near the coast. When rainwater saturates the ground, it can wash away the soil around wooden posts, leaving them loose. Supreme Maintenance Services addresses this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line and using treated lumber or metal brackets to provide extra stability.

Look for panels that are leaning, sagging, or have pulled away from the posts. You might also notice cracked rails or loose hinges on gates. After a strong wind event, check the base of the posts for shifting or exposed concrete. If you see any of these signs, it's best to have a professional assess the damage to prevent further issues.

For our area, metal fences like chain link or aluminum are very wind-resistant because they allow air to pass through. If you prefer wood, go with a board-on-board or shadowbox design, which reduces wind pressure compared to solid panels. Supreme Maintenance Services can recommend the best material for your property based on wind exposure and local building codes.
