Fence Builders Yadkinville NC | Call Surry and Mabry Fence Builders

The main cause is the region's clay-heavy soil, which expands and contracts with moisture changes. After heavy rains common in Yadkinville, soil becomes saturated, causing wooden posts to loosen or rot over time. Lack of proper drainage or using untreated wood without gravel footings can worsen the issue.

Signs to watch for include: leaning posts, rotting wood at ground level, rusted or broken gate hinges, and sagging sections. If the fence is more than 15 years old or has widespread damage, replacement is often more cost-effective than multiple repairs. For local residents near the Yadkinville Park, we recommend an annual inspection to spot problems early.

For local farms, we recommend a combination of woven wire with wood H-braces set deep with concrete to withstand shifting soil. Adding a strand of electric wire at the top deters animals from testing the fence. This setup handles the hills and weather near the Yadkin River while providing long-term strength.
