That’s why we’ve built our reputation as the trusted go-to company for fence repair and construction in Montgomery, TX and surrounding areas.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the real damage weather can do to your fencing, the signs your fence might need repair, and why choosing Montgomery Fence and Deck Co. means protecting your property with expert craftsmanship and lasting solutions.
How Texas Weather Damages Your Fence
Texas may be known for its warm climate, but anyone who lives here knows that weather conditions can vary drastically from season to season. This constant fluctuation causes stress on your fencing materials, no matter how well-built they are. Here’s a closer look at how different elements of Texas weather affect your fence:
1. Sun and Heat Damage
Montgomery summers are known for relentless heat and intense sunlight. Over time, UV rays break down the structure of wood and vinyl fences. Wood can become dry, cracked, and discolored, while vinyl may warp or fade. Paint and sealants also degrade, leaving your fence more vulnerable to further damage.
2. Heavy Rain and Moisture
While we don’t see rain every day, when it hits, it pours. Water is the number one enemy of wood fences. Prolonged exposure to moisture leads to:
-
Rotting wood
-
Mold and mildew
-
Warping
-
Rusting on metal fasteners
This is especially problematic if the posts or panels were not sealed properly or the fence is older and hasn’t been maintained.
3. Wind Damage
Strong wind gusts can loosen fence panels, bend metal posts, or even knock entire sections down. Wind stress is most dangerous for older fences that have become weak at the joints or have rotting wood at the base.
4. Cold Snaps and Freezing
While not as common as heat, sudden winter freezes in Montgomery can cause fence posts—especially those set in concrete—to crack. Moisture expands when it freezes, leading to ground heaving and shifts that put pressure on your fence’s foundation.
5. Humidity
Let’s not forget the high humidity that lingers throughout much of the year. Constant exposure to moisture-rich air can hasten the degradation of wood and metal alike, increasing the risk of rot, corrosion, and fungal growth.
Signs Your Fence Needs Repair
Knowing what to look for can save you from a complete fence replacement. We recommend doing a visual inspection every few months. Here are some red flags:
-
Leaning or tilting sections – Often due to post damage or ground movement.
-
Warped or split boards – Caused by repeated moisture absorption and drying.
-
Loose or missing nails/screws – A sign the structure is weakening.
-
Discoloration, moss, or mildew – Indicates moisture retention and fungal growth.
-
Broken or missing panels – Often caused by storm damage or impact.
-
Rust on metal components – Compromises structural integrity and aesthetics.
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait until the problem gets worse. Fence damage can escalate quickly, especially when the next storm rolls through.
