Tucson Fence Company | Professional Fence Builders in Tucson, AZ

Tucson’s dry, expansive clay soils shrink and crack, reducing support around fence posts. This leads to posts shifting, leaning, or cracking over time. The intense heat and lack of moisture accelerate this process, making proper installation and weatherproofing essential.

Signs include visible leaning, gaps between the post and ground, cracks in the post itself, or a gate that sticks or sags. If you notice these, it’s likely the dry soil has compromised the post’s stability.

We recommend resetting posts with concrete footings designed for expansive soils, using moisture barriers, and applying weatherproofing sealants. For existing fences, we can repair or replace damaged posts and apply protective coatings to prevent future cracking. Automatic gate installation may also require reinforced posts to handle the extra weight.
