Why Ranch Fences Fail in Fort Bend
Posts in shifting soil. Fort Bend's clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Over a long fence line, that movement loosens posts one by one.
Rot and rust at the ground. Humidity keeps the base of posts damp, where wood rots and metal rusts first.
Storms and falling limbs. Gulf storms and downed branches can break rails or knock out sections, often in a single spot.
Flooding and standing water. Low ground that holds water after heavy rain is hard on posts.
