Turner and Son Fencing - Horn Lake's Professional Fence Builders

Look for widespread rot at the base of posts, especially after wet seasons common in DeSoto County. If more than 30% of your fence panels are loose, leaning, or splintering, or if you have several posts that wiggle in the ground, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs. Turner and Son can inspect your fence and give you an honest assessment for your specific Horn Lake property.

Absolutely. A sagging gate is often a sign of loose hinges, a settling post, or a damaged frame. For Horn Lake homes, we frequently replace rusted gate hardware and reinforce the gate frame with galvanized steel brackets to fix the alignment. In cases where the gate post has rotted below ground level, we can replace the post and reset it in concrete to ensure a long-lasting, latched fit.

Horn Lake's high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms cause moisture to get trapped in wood, leading to mildew growth and warping. The solution often involves replacing the warped boards with properly treated, kiln-dried lumber and applying a weather-resistant stain or sealant. We also recommend ensuring there's a 1-2 inch gap at the bottom of the fence for airflow, which greatly reduces moisture buildup.
