Privacy Fence Installation Thorp WI | Call Wisco Ag Fencing

In Thorp, the primary cause is the freeze-thaw cycle. Moisture gets into the ground around the post, then freezes and expands, pushing the post upward and sideways. Over time, this loosens the soil and can cause rot at the base, especially with untreated wood. Wisco Ag Fencing addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts for lasting stability.

A clear sign is sagging: if your gate drags on the ground or leaves a gap at the bottom, the hinges or frame are likely worn. Also, check for rust on metal gates or splintering wood. If the gate is difficult to latch or swings unevenly, a repair might suffice. But if the frame is warped or the posts are rotted, replacement is more cost-effective. Wisco Ag Fencing can inspect your gate and give you an honest recommendation.

For gardens in the Thorp area, we recommend a tall woven-wire fence, at least 8 feet high, as deer are strong jumpers. A combination of a 6-foot fence with a single strand of electric wire at the top is also very effective. Wisco Ag Fencing installs these systems using heavy-duty posts and tension wire to withstand snow loads and wind, ensuring your garden stays protected through all seasons.
