What Fails on a Fence
| Roof Type | Lifespan | Common Issues | Repair Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leaning posts | First to fail | Clay soil heave plus wind load on solid panels | Reset or replace the post, not the panels |
| Broken pickets | Ongoing | Impact, rot at grade, warping | Low, replaced individually |
| Sagging rails | 10 years plus | Fasteners pulling from posts | Low, refasten or replace the rail |
| Dragging gate | Common | Leaning gate post or worn hardware | Low, usually a post and hinge job |

Questions
Fence Repair Questions
Can you fix a leaning fence without replacing it?
Usually. Leaning almost always means the posts have failed rather than the panels, so resetting or replacing posts fixes the run without redoing the whole fence.
Why do posts fail here?
Oklahoma clay swells and shrinks with moisture, working posts loose over time. Add wind loading on a solid privacy panel and the post is doing real work.
Can you match my existing pickets?
Usually. New wood will not match weathered wood immediately, though it greys in over a season or two.
My gate drags. Can that be fixed?
Almost always. A dragging gate is usually a leaning gate post or worn hardware, both straightforward to correct.
When is a fence past repairing?
When posts are failing along most of the run rather than in spots. At that point rebuilding costs less than repeatedly chasing it.
