Stop Leaning Fences Before They Fail

Pole replacement services in Arvada that restore stability to fences affected by rot or soil movement.

You notice your fence leaning more each season, or you see a post that has started to crack near the ground. In Arvada, freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement put constant pressure on fence poles, and over time the wood at the base rots or splits. When that happens, the entire section loses stability and the fence stops doing what it should. Replacing the damaged poles restores the structure before panels start pulling away or the fence collapses.

Ricky's Fence Repair removes rotted or broken poles and installs new ones set to the proper depth and alignment. This service is especially common on older properties in Arvada and Wheat Ridge where soil conditions and age have weakened the original posts. The new poles are installed with attention to frost line depth and drainage so they stay secure through seasonal changes. You get a fence that stands straight again and holds its position under wind and weight.

If your fence has started leaning or you see visible damage to the posts, Ricky's Fence Repair provides a free estimate in Arvada and lets you know what needs attention.

How Pole Replacement Restores Structural Support

The crew digs out the damaged pole, checks the surrounding soil and alignment, and installs a new post that matches the height and placement of your existing fence. In Arvada, most pole replacement involves setting the new post deep enough to avoid shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. You will see the team use a level to ensure the post stands vertical, then backfill and tamp the soil or add concrete depending on the conditions.

After the new pole is in place, your fence stops leaning and the panels reattach securely. The structure regains the support it needs to hold its shape and function properly. You no longer see sagging rails or gaps where the fence has pulled away from the post.

This service helps extend the life of your fence without replacing the entire line. If only a few poles have failed, replacing them is usually more practical than starting over. Ricky's Fence Repair covers pole replacement under a fence repair warranty and provides clear guidance on what your fence actually needs.

Concerns That Come Up During Estimates

Homeowners in Arvada and Wheat Ridge often ask about soil conditions, post depth, and whether the rest of the fence will hold up after poles are replaced.

How do I know if my poles need replacing?
If your fence leans, if posts wobble when pushed, or if you see rot or cracks near the base, replacement is usually necessary. Ricky's Fence Repair checks the condition of your posts during the estimate and shows you what has failed.
What depth are the new poles set to?
Posts are installed below the frost line to prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. The exact depth depends on your soil type and local conditions, but the crew ensures the post stays stable year-round.
Why do poles fail more often in Arvada?
Soil movement and seasonal temperature swings put pressure on fence posts over time. Moisture collects at the base, wood rots, and the freeze-thaw cycle loosens the post from the surrounding soil.
Will replacing a few poles fix the whole fence?
If the rest of your fence is still stable, replacing the failed poles usually restores function. The crew checks the surrounding structure to confirm that the repair will hold and the fence will stay upright.
How long does pole replacement take?
Most pole replacements finish in a few hours depending on how many posts need work and how accessible your yard is. You will have a stable fence by the end of the day.
