Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gate hardware to freeze in Stony Brook, and how can WR Fence fix it?
Moisture from snow and freezing rain can seize up standard steel gate hinges and latches. WR Fence recommends switching to stainless steel or brass hardware and applying a silicone-based lubricant before winter. For persistent issues, we can install a self-latching mechanism that resists ice buildup.
How can I tell if my fence posts are rotting?
Look for soft spots near the ground, mushroom growth, or a musty smell. Posts that wobble when pushed are a sure sign. WR Fence inspects posts by probing the base with a screwdriver. If it sinks in easily, the post needs replacement.
What is the best solution for fence post rot in Stony Brook's climate?
We typically replace rotted posts with pressure-treated pine or cedar and set them in concrete below the frost line. For extra protection, we use gravel at the base to improve drainage, preventing water pooling that leads to rot.
