Tucker’s fencing and more | Expert Residential Fencing in Louisville, KY

Louisville’s clay soil retains moisture and expands when wet, which can cause wooden posts to shift or rot at the ground line. Tucker’s Fencing and More recommends using pressure-treated posts set in concrete with proper drainage gravel, or switching to rot-resistant materials like cedar or vinyl. If your posts are already leaning, we can brace or replace them to restore stability.

Water often seeps into the wiring connections or the motor housing of automatic gates, especially if the gate is near a low-lying area. Signs include intermittent operation or a complete shutdown. Tucker’s Fencing and More can inspect the electrical components, seal vulnerable points, and if necessary, relocate the motor to a higher, drier location to prevent future issues.

Sealing and weatherproofing your fence before winter is key. Tucker’s Fencing and More applies a high-quality exterior stain or sealant that penetrates the wood, preventing moisture from freezing inside the grain and causing splits. We also recommend keeping mulch and soil away from the fence’s base to reduce moisture contact.
