Has a Tree Pushed Your Milwaukie Fence Out of Line?
On Milwaukie's older lots, fence repair is usually about trees and time: roots that have shoved posts out of line, damp shade that softens the wood, and fences that have been patched by several owners.
Big old trees are part of what makes Milwaukie's older neighborhoods pleasant, and they are hard on fences. Roots lift and shove posts, branches drop on panels, and the shade keeps the lower boards damp for most of the year. A fence repair here often means moving a post a little along the line to clear a root rather than fighting it.
Many of these fences have also been fixed several times by different owners, with mixed lumber, mixed fasteners and posts set in old concrete. We sort out what's sound and what isn't, break out old footings that are in the way, and rebuild the failed parts so the whole run stands straight again.
If a front section needs rebuilding, it goes back at 42 inches or less, Milwaukie's front-yard limit, and near the street it stays within the clear vision rule. Older pickets can be copied so the repaired run matches the rest.
