Your fence faces brutal conditions in Wilmington. Winter ice, spring rain, summer heat, and fall wind all attack it. The right fence and proper installation keep it looking good through all four seasons.
Winter tests fence strength. Ice builds up on horizontal surfaces. Snow piles against boards. Freeze-thaw cycles crack weak materials. Vinyl gets brittle in extreme cold if you buy cheap grades. We use commercial-grade vinyl that flexes instead of cracking. Cedar handles cold fine if it's properly sealed.
Spring brings moisture problems. Rain soaks wood. Humidity breeds mold and mildew. Poor drainage pools water around posts. This rots wood at ground level. We set posts in concrete with proper drainage. We seal wood to repel moisture. Your fence dries quickly instead of staying wet.
Summer sun fades color. Cheap stains bleach out in one season. Low-quality vinyl yellows and chalks. UV rays break down weak materials. We use UV-resistant stains on cedar. Our vinyl includes UV inhibitors that keep color true for decades. Your fence looks fresh year after year.
Fall wind tests installation quality. Loose posts wobble. Weak connections separate. Shallow post holes let wind push fence over. We dig posts 36 inches deep in Wilmington. We use concrete footings. We reinforce corners and gates. Your fence stands firm in 40 mph gusts.
Material choice determines seasonal performance. Aluminum and vinyl need almost zero seasonal maintenance. Cedar needs annual inspection and occasional sealing. Chain link needs nothing but stays ugly year-round. Match material to how much work you want to do.
Color affects heat absorption. Dark fences absorb more heat. This can warp vinyl or dry out wood faster. Light colors reflect heat and stay cooler. White and tan are popular in Wilmington for good reason.
Professional installation accounts for seasonal movement. Wood expands and contracts with humidity. We leave proper gaps between boards. Vinyl expands with heat. We install with room for movement. Your fence adjusts to seasons without warping or buckling.
We install fencing Wilmington properties to handle all four seasons. We know what materials work here. We know how deep to dig posts. We know how to seal and protect. Your fence looks good in January and July.
