DFW Heavy Rain & Storms — What Homeowners Should Know About Their Fence

North Texas has been hit with hours of steady rain, and with even stronger storms expected tonight, this kind of weather can quickly start affecting your fence — especially if it’s older, leaning, or built on soft soil.


When the ground becomes oversaturated, the soil around your fence posts loses stability. This can lead to:


  • Leaning or shifting posts
  • Fence panels pulling away
  • Gates that suddenly won’t close right
  • Soil erosion and washed-out areas along the fence line

These small signs often show up right after big rain events like today’s. And once tonight’s winds arrive, any weakened section can become more vulnerable.

If you walk your yard and notice movement, leaning, wobbling, washed-out soil, or a gate acting different than normal, it may be storm-related — and it’s best to address it early.



Frisco Fence is here to help with storm damage inspections, fence repairs, and full replacements once the weather clears.

Stay safe tonight, stay dry, and keep an eye on your fence during these heavy DFW storms. 🌧️🛠️💛
