Residential Fencing Madison WI | Call Wrought Iron Fence of Madison

In Madison’s climate, repeated freezing and thawing of the soil can create movement around fence posts. When water in the ground freezes, it expands, pushing posts upward or sideways. As it thaws, gaps form, allowing posts to settle unevenly. Wrought Iron Fence of Madison solves this by setting posts below the frost line and using concrete footings designed to withstand these shifts, keeping your fence stable year-round.

Look for rust spots near ground level, cracked or chipped paint, and gates that no longer latch properly. You might also notice gaps between posts and the ground, or sections that feel loose when pushed. These signs indicate moisture intrusion or frost heave. Our team inspects these areas and can restore the fence with rust treatment, repainting, and post reinforcement to prevent further damage.

Yes. Road salt used on Madison streets can accelerate rust, especially on fences near busy roads like East Washington Avenue or Monroe Street. We remove existing rust, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and repaint with weather-resistant enamel. For severe cases, we can replace damaged sections or install a protective coating that better resists salt and moisture, extending your fence’s life.
