Local Terrain & Climate Challenges in Transylvania County

The soil conditions throughout the county can vary significantly. In low-lying valley areas and areas adjacent to rivers, the soil typically retains a higher moisture content than soils in higher elevations and more rocky timber zone, therefore resulting in the gradual movement or rotting of the fence posts if not properly drained. The soils in the high elevation and rocky timber areas tend to be very compact and contain a large amount of rock, which makes for a much more labor-intensive installation process but provides a very stable base for a long-term attachment.

The wet and humid climate of Transylvania County due to the moderately dense forests and the change in elevation have also contributed to the long-term durability issues associated to wood fencing. Because the majority of the wood used in the construction of most fences is expected to have a normal life span of approximately 10 years, the constant moisture exposure experienced by wood fencing in Transylvania County has significantly increased the risk of decay, twisting, and mildew growth. This moisture content makes the use of pressure treated lumber or the use of vinyl and/or metal fencing much more desirable to assist in providing long-term durability.

When it is cold outside the stability of a fence can be affected by the weather. This happens because of the freeze and thaw cycles. The water in the soil. Gets bigger and then it thaws and gets smaller. This can slowly move the fence posts if they are in wet ground. To prevent this it is very important to put the posts in enough and to use concrete to make them stronger.

You should make sure the panels are spaced correctly. You should also make the posts stronger so that the fence will last for a time. Fence stability is really important. The fence posts need to be strong to withstand the weather. A fence is only as good, as its posts so you need to make sure they are secure and will not move over time.
