Tornado Fence: Experienced Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Birmingham, AL 35217

In Birmingham's humid climate, moisture and oxygen react with iron in metal fences, leading to rust. At Tornado Fence, we can often sand, treat, and repaint rusted sections. For severe corrosion, we'll replace the damaged component with galvanized or coated steel that resists our local humidity.

Birmingham’s heavy, repeated rainfall and high humidity cause wood to absorb moisture unevenly, leading to warping, cupping, or splitting. We recommend inspecting the fence for proper drainage and sealing. If boards are already warped, Tornado Fence can replace them with pressure-treated or cedar lumber and install a proper sealant to help prevent future moisture damage.

Look for orange-brown stains, flaking paint, or small pits on the metal near the ground where it stays wet longest. If the post is still structurally sound, we can clean and recoat it. If it’s rusted through at the base, we’ll set a new, rust-resistant post in concrete—often using a galvanized or aluminum post to handle Birmingham’s moisture.
