Unconquered Fencing | Custom Fences & Gates in Charleston, TN

The main cause is prolonged soil moisture from heavy rains and clay-rich ground around Charleston. When fence posts are set without proper drainage or gravel backfill, they stay wet against wood or metal, leading to rot or rust. Unconquered Fencing prevents this by using treated posts, gravel drainage bases, and concrete footings that keep posts stable even during wet seasons.

Signs that your fence needs professional attention include sagging sections, visible rot at ground level, missing pickets from storm damage, or a gate that drags or won't latch. If only a few posts or boards are damaged, repair is usually fine. However, if more than 30% of the fence is loose, leaning, or rotting, replacement is often more cost-effective. Unconquered Fencing can inspect your fence near landmarks like Charleston Landing and give you an honest opinion without pressure.

For privacy and wind protection close to the Hiwassee River or open fields, a board-on-board cedar or vinyl privacy fence works well. These styles use overlapping pickets to block sightlines and reduce wind load. Unconquered Fencing installs these fences with pressure-treated posts and proper spacing to handle local gusts without pulling loose. They also offer custom gate designs that match your privacy fence's height and style.
