Storm Damage Fence Repairs – Protecting Against High Winds

High winds are one of the most damaging forces to a fence. In North Texas, when storms roll through, fences often take the brunt of the weather. Posts may lean or snap, rails can break, and entire sections may blow down. Even if the fence is still standing, hidden structural issues can quickly lead to bigger problems if not repaired right away.

Unfortunately, many new home builders cut corners on fencing, leaving homeowners with weaker structures that can’t handle heavy wind loads. We commonly see:

• Light-gauge steel posts that bend in half under pressure
• Posts that are too short, preventing them from being set deep enough in the ground
• Posts not concreted in, leaving them loose and unstable
• Cheap strap brackets that twist or bend easily
• 2x3 rails instead of 2x4, reducing strength and stability
• Scraps of lumber used instead of full pieces, creating weak points

These shortcuts may save builders money, but they create fences that fail far sooner than they should.

At Frisco Fence, our focus is on lasting fence repairs. When storm damage occurs, we don’t just patch it — we rebuild it to be stronger than before. Our repair services include:

• Replacing broken or leaning posts with properly sized, concreted-in posts
• Swapping out weak rails with 2x4 Western Red Cedar for maximum strength
• Reinforcing gates and realigning hardware for smooth operation
• Replacing missing or cracked pickets with full-length cedar boards
• Adding kickboards to protect the base of the fence from future wear
• Restaining or sealing repairs so the fence is fully protected

By addressing both the visible and underlying issues, we make sure your fence is not only standing straight again but built to handle the next storm. In most cases, repairs are a cost-effective way to extend the life of your fence without a full replacement.

If your fence has been damaged by high winds, don’t wait for the next storm to make things worse. Call Frisco Fence today for a storm damage assessment, and let us repair your fence the right way.
