Fence Builders Anderson IN | Call T & T Fence

In Anderson, frequent high winds coming across open areas near the White River often loosen fence posts over time. If the posts were set in too-shallow holes or without proper concrete footing, the entire panel can tilt. This is especially common with wood and chain-link fences that catch the wind like sails.

Look for sagging hinges, rust at the bottom, or gates that drag against the ground. A gate that won't latch easily or swings open on its own is a sign the frame is twisting. In Anderson's wind, a weak gate can snap off completely during a thunderstorm. If you notice any of these signs, it's time for a repair or replacement before the next big wind event.

Simply replacing panels won't solve it—you need a stronger foundation. We dig deeper post holes (24-30 inches) and use concrete for stability. Switching to a more wind-resistant material like vinyl or heavy-gauge aluminum can also help. For existing chain-link, adding a tension wire at the top provides extra reinforcement against Anderson's gusts.
