Question Answers
Why do fence posts often lean after a Chatfield winter?
Freeze-thaw cycles cause soil to expand and contract, shifting posts over time. Sutherland Fence uses concrete footings and gravel drainage to anchor posts below the frost line, preventing movement.
What's the best way to protect a fence from Minnesota snow and moisture?
Weatherproofing with a high-quality sealant and stain is key. We recommend annual inspection and re-application every 2-3 years. Also, clearing snow from fence bases reduces moisture damage.
Can you repair a gate that won't close properly after a storm?
Yes. Most issues are due to bent hinges, warped frames, or frost-heaved posts. We assess, adjust, or replace hardware and realign the gate to swing smoothly again.
