Fix Your Leaning Fence Before It Fails Completely

When a fence starts to lean, it isn’t a cosmetic issue — something structural has failed. Most of the time, the post has shifted, rotted, twisted, or lifted out of the ground. If one post goes, the entire section can pull other sections with it. Our job is simple: find the cause, stabilize the structure, and get your fence standing straight and secure.

Fast Diagnosis, Straightforward Fix

We identify the exact reason your fence is leaning and fix it right the first time — whether the issue is a twisted post, a loose post, a lifted post, or a damaged rail connection.

Long-Lasting Stabilization, Not Temporary Patching

A leaning fence usually means a failing post. We reset it, replace it, or brace it properly so the repair actually holds up — not just for a week or two.

Honest Recommendation Every Time

If straightening the fence makes sense, we’ll repair it. If the structure is too far gone, we’ll tell you that replacement is the better option.

How We Fix Leaning Wood Fences

A leaning fence can look like a small issue, but it’s almost always caused by a deeper failure in the structure. Here’s how we repair it:

1. Identify the Cause of the Lean

Most leaning fences come down to a few predictable issues:

  • A post has lifted, twisted, or shifted
  • A post has rotted at or below ground level
  • A post was installed shallow and moved over time
  • A section lost its structural support from a failing post
  • Gate weight is pulling the adjacent post

2. Stabilize, Reset, or Replace the Post

Depending on what we find, we’ll:

  • Reset the post to full depth
  • Replace the post if it’s rotted
  • Brace the post with a structural steel reinforcement if replacement isn’t necessary

Straightening the fence ALWAYS starts by correcting the post — not by trying to “pull” the fence back straight.

3. Reinforce the Section and Rails

Once the post is solid, we ensure the section itself is supported:

  • Secure rails
  • Tighten connections
  • Straighten the panel
  • Remove twist or sag

4. Realign the Gate (If Affected)

If the leaning post is connected to a gate, the gate will start dragging, sticking, or sagging.
We’ll:

  • Re-square the gate
  • Adjust hinge alignment
  • Set proper clearances
  • Ensure latches close properly

If the gate itself is the main issue, we handle gate repairs too!

5. When Repair Is Not the Smart Choice

If multiple posts are failing or the fence is rotting throughout, repairing one lean won’t solve the bigger issue. In those cases we’ll give you the option for a fence replacement, so you can choose whats best for you and your family.

Teren and his team were great. The work was done quickly and there was plenty of clear communication. All questions were answered thoroughly and Teren stands behind the work. Would recommend!
