Why Is Your Happy Valley Fence Leaning Already?
Most Happy Valley fences are young, so fence repair here is rarely about old age. It's about how the first fence was built: shallow posts on a hillside, thin boards, and gates hung on posts too light for them.
A fence put up with a new house in the 2010s should have plenty of life left. Yet many Happy Valley owners call us within a few years because a run on the slope has started to lean downhill. The usual cause is posts set too shallow for the slope. Water collects on the uphill side through the wet months and the posts slowly tip.
Fence repair on those lines means digging the leaning posts out and setting them deeper, with gravel for drainage and concrete shaped to shed water. Where boards have twisted or nails have backed out, we replace the rails and fasten with screws so the panels stay flat.
Gates are the other common call. A wide gate on a light post pulls the post over and the gate starts to drag. We set a heavier gate post, square the frame, and re-hang it so it latches without a lift.
