FAQs
What causes mold and mildew on fences in Lehigh Acres, and how can Tri-county Steelworks prevent it?
Mold and mildew thrive in Lehigh Acres' humid climate, especially on untreated wood or poorly coated metal fences. At Tri-county Steelworks, we combat this by using high-quality galvanized steel or aluminum materials with weather-resistant powder coatings. For wooden fences, we apply sealants and proper ventilation techniques to minimize moisture retention, preventing mold growth before it starts.
What are signs that my fence posts are loose, and how do you fix them?
Signs of loose fence posts include leaning sections, wobbling when pushed, or gaps between the post and ground. This is common in Lehigh Acres' sandy soil due to inadequate installation. Tri-county Steelworks resolves this by re-excavating around the post, setting it in a concrete footer that extends below the frost line, and backfilling with compacted gravel for added stability and drainage.
Why do my fence posts become loose after heavy rain in Lehigh Acres, and what long-term solution do you offer?
Heavy rain can saturate sandy soil, causing it to shift and loosen fence posts that were not installed with proper drainage. Our solution is to use a concrete base with a bell-shaped footing that increases surface area and resists movement. We also add gravel at the base to improve water drainage, ensuring your posts remain secure even during Florida's wet season.
