Q&A
What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Columbus, OH?
The main cause is our region’s freeze-thaw cycles. In Columbus, the ground can freeze deep in winter and then thaw, causing soil expansion and contraction. Over time, this can loosen fence posts if they aren’t set deep enough. Taylor Made Fence addresses this by setting posts at least 36 inches deep with concrete footings, which keeps your fence stable year-round.
How can I tell if my fence has been damaged by frost heave?
Look for signs like gates that no longer latch properly, gaps between fence panels, or posts that appear tilted or loose. In Columbus, this is especially common after a harsh winter. If you notice these issues, it’s best to have a professional inspect the posts and concrete base before further damage occurs.
What fence material works best for Columbus’s climate and local soil conditions?
For our area, we recommend pressure-treated pine or vinyl. Pressure-treated wood resists rot and insect damage from Ohio’s humid summers, while vinyl won’t warp or crack from temperature swings. Both materials handle the clay-heavy soil around neighborhoods like Bexley and Upper Arlington well. Taylor Made Fence will help you choose the right option based on your property’s specific needs.
