Upright Fence - Gulfport's Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Gulfport’s heavy rains and winds saturate sandy soil, weakening the ground around standard post holes. Without proper drainage or deep concrete footings, posts shift and loosen. Upright Fence solves this by excavating deep holes, adding gravel for drainage, and pouring concrete that extends below the frost line—even though we rarely freeze, this depth provides hurricane-proof stability.

Look for rust spots, pitting, or flaking paint on iron or steel fences, especially near the bottom where salt-laden moisture collects. Wrought iron can crack at welds. Upright Fence inspects each section and recommends powder-coated aluminum for Gulfport’s coastal environment—it never rusts and retains its look against salt spray.

Start with proper post installation: concrete footings at least 2 feet deep and 10 inches wide, plus metal post anchors. Upright Fence also uses bracket-reinforced rails and thicker gauge steel for ornamental fences. For privacy fences, we install wind-load-rated pickets with gaps to allow air flow without losing privacy. Call us for a free estimate on storm-proofing your fence.
