Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to lean in Raleigh's soil?
Raleigh's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with moisture, loosening post anchors. Improper installation without deep concrete footings or gravel drainage accelerates leaning. We recommend setting posts 24 inches deep with 6 inches of gravel to prevent shifting.
What are signs that my fence needs repair after a storm?
Check for loose or missing boards, cracked rails, sagging gates, and warped panels. Water pooling at the base indicates erosion around posts. If your fence leans more than 10 degrees or has rot at ground level, it's time for professional repair or replacement.
How can I prevent wood fence rot in Raleigh's humid climate?
Use pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant wood like cedar. Apply a water-repellent sealant annually. Ensure 2-3 inches of clearance between boards and soil to reduce moisture wicking. Install a gravel trench beneath the fence line to improve drainage.
