Questions and Answers
What causes fence fasteners to loosen in Hawthorn Woods?
The main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle common in Illinois winters. As the ground heaves and settles, it puts stress on fence posts and connections, causing screws and nails to loosen. Also, high winds typical of our area can shake the fence, gradually weakening fasteners.
How can I tell if my gate is sagging?
Signs include the gate dragging on the ground, difficulty latching, or a visible gap between the gate and the post when closed. You may also notice the gate is no longer level. If you see any of these, it’s time to adjust the hinges or replace worn hardware.
What’s the best solution for a sagging gate in Hawthorn Woods?
We recommend first checking the hinges and posts for damage. Often, tightening the hinge screws or adding a gate wheel can help. For persistent sagging, we install heavy-duty hinges or a tension rod. If the post is leaning, we may need to reinforce it with concrete or replace it entirely. We use rust-resistant materials to handle our local humidity.
