FAQs
What causes wood fence posts to rot quickly in Orefield, PA?
The primary cause is moisture trapped against the wood from snowmelt and heavy rain, combined with freeze-thaw cycles that crack the wood and allow insects to enter. Topline combats this by using kiln-dried, pressure-treated wood and setting posts in gravel-filled holes with concrete collars above grade to prevent water pooling.
How can I tell if my fence gate is starting to sag due to ground movement?
Look for a gap between the gate and latch, difficulty latching, or the gate dragging on the ground. In Orefield, frost heave can shift posts unevenly. Topline recommends checking for level posts and tightening hardware. If sagging persists, they can re-set the post with a deeper concrete base or install a tension rod to realign the gate.
What is the best solution for a fence that leans after winter?
Leaning often results from posts that weren’t set deep enough below the frost line (typically 36 inches in Orefield). Topline’s solution is to remove the affected post, dig a deeper hole, add crushed stone for drainage, and set the post in concrete. They also reinforce the surrounding panels to prevent future shifting.
