United Fence Company | Local Fence Contractors in Trenton, GA

Loose fence rails are often caused by the freeze-thaw cycles common in Trenton winters, which can shift fence posts and loosen hardware. Additionally, strong winds from storms that come through the Lookout Mountain area can stress the connections between rails and posts. Over time, normal wear and tear from weather exposure can also cause screws and nails to work themselves free.

After a storm in Trenton, look for visibly leaning or tilted sections, broken or cracked boards, and rails that have pulled away from posts. You may also notice loose or missing nails and screws, or gaps where panels no longer sit flush. If your gate is sagging or dragging on the ground, that’s another clear sign of storm-related damage.

We start by assessing the full extent of the damage, checking both the visible sections and the post bases for hidden issues. For loose rails, we reinforce the connections with heavy-duty screws and brackets. For damaged sections, we replace broken boards or panels with materials that match your existing fence. If posts are compromised, we set new ones in concrete to ensure long-term stability against future storms.
