Q&A
Why is my wooden fence gate sagging in Shreveport’s humidity?
Humidity causes wood to swell and then shrink as it dries, loosening joints and hardware. Over time, the gate’s weight pulls it out of alignment, leading to sagging. This is a common issue in Shreveport, especially with older fences. Velli Vas can reinforce the frame, replace worn hinges, or install a tension cable to restore proper function and prevent future sagging.
What are the signs that my fence needs repair or replacement?
Look for rotting wood at ground level, rusted metal posts, loose or missing pickets, and gates that drag or won’t latch. In Shreveport’s humid climate, check for mildew or soft spots on wood. If more than 30% of your fence is damaged, replacement may be more cost-effective. Velli Vas offers free inspections to help you decide the best course of action.
Can you paint or stain an old fence to protect it from moisture damage?
Yes, painting or staining creates a protective barrier against moisture, which is crucial in Shreveport’s humid environment. We prep the surface by cleaning and sanding, then apply a high-quality exterior paint or stain. This extends the life of your fence and prevents rot. We also offer staining for new fences to seal the wood from day one.
