How do I stop my fence from rotting or blowing over in strong winds?
If you live in the North West, you’ll know just how brutal the weather can be on garden fencing. Strong winds, heavy rain, and damp conditions can quickly cause panels to rot, lean, or collapse if they’re not built properly. At Liverpool One Fencing, we’ve spent over 20 years installing strong, long-lasting fences across Merseyside — and we know exactly what it takes to keep your fence standing firm for years.
Use the best materials from the start
The number one way to prevent rot and wind damage is choosing high-quality materials. Cheap panels and untreated timber simply won’t last in the British climate.
We only use:
- Heavy-duty feather edge panels as standard
- Top-quality concrete posts and gravel boards
- Pressure-treated timber for long-term protection
Concrete posts are especially important because they won’t rot and provide far stronger support than timber alone. Combined with heavy-duty feather edge panels, they create a fence built to withstand strong winds and constant rain.
Proper installation makes all the difference
Even the best materials will fail if they’re not installed correctly. With over 20 years of installation experience, our team ensures every fence is fitted to last.
Key installation factors include:
- Deep, securely concreted posts for maximum stability
- Correct spacing and alignment to prevent strain
- Gravel boards to keep panels off damp ground
- Strong fixings and professional fitting techniques
This ensures your fence won’t lean, rot at the base, or blow over during storms.
Maintenance tips to extend fence life
To keep your fence in top condition:
- Apply wood treatment or stain every couple of years
- Keep plants and soil away from panels to reduce moisture
- Check for loose fixings after heavy winds
- Replace any damaged sections quickly
When installed properly with quality materials, your fence should last for many years with minimal maintenance.
