Up Rise Fencing - Asheville's Experienced Fence Builders

Asheville's frequent rain and freeze-thaw cycles saturate the soil, causing it to expand and contract. Over time, this loosens the ground around fence posts, especially if they weren't set deep enough or with proper gravel drainage. Up Rise Fencing addresses this by installing posts with concrete footings and gravel bases, and we can reinforce leaning posts during repairs to prevent future movement.

Look for swelling at the bottom, sticking when opening or closing, peeling paint or stain, and visible cracks. In Asheville's humid summers and wet winters, wood gates absorb moisture, leading to rot and hardware strain. Up Rise Fencing offers weatherproofing treatments, including sealants and proper drainage, to keep your gate functioning smoothly and looking good year-round.

We start by assessing the extent of rot, then remove damaged wood and treat the surrounding area to prevent spread. We replace rotted boards or posts with pressure-treated or rot-resistant materials, reinforce connections, and apply a weatherproof finish. For gates, we also check hinges and latches. This approach restores strength and extends the fence's life, even in Asheville's damp conditions.
