12/8/2023 0 Comments Vinyl corner bracketsThis page has been written to discuss ways to strengthen the fence with and withing the posts themselves and to prevent sway. When the issue appears to be a lack of stability because of a flimsy vinyl material, location in a high-wind corridor, on the corner or end of a fence line, or carrying an excessive unsupported load–like a long stretch of privacy fencing, the fence posts may need additional support to prevent them from excessive sway–the fence’s flex and bending under pressure.Įxcessive sway may eventually chew a gap into the post hole and the problem area may spread. Typically, addressing potential issues with the post is an easy fix and is a preventative measure to avoid issues with the post hole (difficult fix). How to Identify if the Issue is with the Post or Hole Issues with the Post If any one or more of these conditions exist, the fence may need reinforecement. Damage: a post obviously damaged, broken, or forced out of alignment due to some outside force or impact.Out of plain: a straight view of the fence reveals posts that have recessed below or heaved up above the fenceline.Out of plumb: a view down the fenceline revealing posts that have been driven in or out of plumb and/or alignment–some of the posts are loose in the post hole.Sagging Rails: Top and/or bottom rails sagging or bowing between posts.
