Wood and Vinyl Fencing Akron OH | Call The Akron Fence Company

In Akron, the freeze-thaw cycle in winter repeatedly freezes and thaws the soil, pushing fence posts upward. You'll notice a leaning fence or gaps at the bottom. The Akron Fence Company solves this by removing the damaged post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it with concrete below the frost line to prevent future movement.

Sagging gates are often caused by heavy snow or ice weighing down the hinges, or by posts shifting in wet soil. A sign is when the gate drags on the ground. Our solution is to reinforce the gate frame, replace worn hinges, and ensure the gate post is securely anchored with concrete to handle seasonal moisture changes.

Yes. For areas near the Cuyahoga River or in Merriman Valley, we recommend vinyl or aluminum fences that resist moisture and rust. We also use extra-deep concrete footings to counter soil erosion from heavy rains. This keeps your fence stable and looking great through all four seasons.
